We all know that majority almost always means absolute majority. If that's not what OP meant, they should specify that they meant relative majority or plurality. Or, they could have included a percentage.
It's possible to technically be correct but also be intentionally misleading.
When does majority almost always mean absolute? We call pluralities in politics and racial percentages majorities all the time because nobody uses plurality.
Fair enough! I always think of majority as 50+1% and plurality as the most out of all options but you’re right, simple majority is the same as plurality

Plurality and simple majority are the same thing. I never specified an absolute majority but a majority nonetheless.
