Does the statement that these are "not 100% primes" refer to the fact that they breathe?

I've been hoping to hear something more about these guys for a while... nothing yet, I suppose.
I wonder... if they're going to take the time to completely redo the housing and throw away the factory mechanics for these lenses, why not go for the Canon L series? That would be a differentiator for sure. I don't think anyone else is doing something like that. The Canon series is a little faster all around, with a sort-of-fast 14, fast 24 and 135, also the 50 and 85 are slightly faster than Zeiss as well.

A pure prime lens will breathe as it has to be moved back & forward to focus. A prime that does not breathe is in fact a 'zoom'.
