Airbus confuses endurance and range

This is a cut and paste off the Airbus website.

A higher takeoff weight capability of 238 tonnes has been developed by Airbus for the A330-200 with no increase in the aircraft’s empty weight – giving it an endurance of 7,250 nautical miles or an additional 3.4 tonnes of payload.

Surely endurance is only related to time and range to distance. Could Airbus have got this wrong?
