Also note that, according to beardedguy, other methods should also have been reset by such events, yet we see differences in ages between the methods.
Because, to be clear, you're arguing definitions again, and not the science: whether or not this classifies as early, the fact that it measures the last impact and not the age of the rock isn't in doubt. All this means is that the last impact was two billion years after the rock was formed. That's just what happened, and focusing in on the wording in a sentence will not change the actual physical process behind the science.
