Wow, thanks for the explanation! That was driving me nuts too, as I was waiting for the point where they would invert the thing they built and what that would look like, though that point never came. But now I don't need to put in the time that you did!

In summary, they are not "inverted index" in the sense of "the inversion of what you'd normally think of as an index" but instead in the sense of "a map which provides the inversion of the map from documents to words in them, in other words, an index".
