I think you misunderstood... it was referring to people who say something is haram or halal when they don't actually know that is true.
With your example, they are repeating something that they know is true, because they heard it from scholars, but what we are referring to is someone saying so and so is haram even though he has never heard a scholar or knowledgeable person say so. So he is making it up himself.
Hope that makes sense!
