Huh, this seems unduly harsh--excerpted from m-w.com definition of neither: "A few commentators think that neither must be limited in reference to two, but reference to more than two has been quite common since the 17th century[.]"
Either flower is stuck in a 16th c. state of mind (unlikely) or he is in a select group of commentators flowing against the masses (probable!).
