We're both right - it all depends on which definition of "brick" we're using. From Wikipedia:

In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement. However, it is common to use the term for a problem which can be rectified but only by a complex and difficult procedure, often requiring additional software.
. I've gone back and clarified my original post.
