I think what he was saying in relation to it being not 'a localhost test' is that it isn't a test that touches the network stack, even to the loopback interface -- you seem to be equating localhost with anything that happens on a single local machine regardless of whether it has anything to do with the network or not. A difference in use of terminology, perhaps.
