I have no idea how they came up with that argument, the status of the rightful owner really has nothing to do with an adverse possession claim, it's about signifying your interest to the world more than anything else. That entire argument was from a 'hey just move into these empty houses and they're yours' theory that seemed to be making the rounds on the web, and somehow people were under the impression it was that simple.
