I agree 100%. The original New York Times article is BS. I doubt there are any mathematicians or scientists who see any ambiguity in the expression. 2(2+2) is a parenthesis expression and should always be resolved as a unit in its own right, yielding 8. The correct and only possible answer following mathematical rules is 1.
