so technically you're pretty much at very, very min[imum] afterburner while you're cruising," Griffiths said
It doesn't matter how much you dress it up with claims and comparisons to other aircraft (in-service aircraft), that means (as many others have said here) it doesn't supercruise. Yet another of its shortfalls like acceleration time and sustained g. But it seems that we are able to continue to conveniently overlook these performance issues once they are a few weeks old.
