The article isn't about a ddr4 stick being sold as ddr5, it's about a ddr5 stick with re engraved ddr4 modules on it. There's no point in going through the trouble of re engraving the modules as ddr5 just to put them on a ddr4 stick.

Thanks for the correction. To much doom scrolling for me - I apparently didn't even read the title.
