What is "intermittent" about the same 16 hr fast period?

If one fasts for the same 16 hours (8pm-noon) each day for an extended period of time, then how can one classify their fasts as intermittent? It would seem that they've simply set up a new normal for their metabolism.

If one didn't eat breakfast four days a week and the other three days ate breakfast, but not dinner, I could see this as being intermittent. But following the same calorie intake schedule everyday seems to be the opposite of intermittent.

Tried searching for this but only found definitions of various IF diets and critiques for each.
