Flask with SqlAlchemy Basics - Section 2 / Delete Objective incorrect [Solved]

This objective is incorrect. If I try to do the following 

@app.route('/delete/<id>')
def delete(id):
    plant = Plant.query.get(id)
    db.session.delete(plant)
    db.session.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('index'))

I get the following error Bummer: After you've found your plant pass it in to db.delete() to remove it.

If you look at the official documentation it even says to do 

db.session.delete(me)
db.session.commit()

where me is a reference to a DB object

The objective says that the answer should be 

@app.route('/delete/<id>')
def delete(id):
    plant = Plant.query.get(id)
    db.delete(plant)
    db.commit()
    return redirect(url_for('index'))

However that does not match up with what the video's and the official documentation says
