Answer does not accept "only screen"

We were taught that it is a good practice to write a media query with only screen so that the browser without media query support would not render these css. But here the answer does not support that, any particular reason?

A media query should look like this

@media screen and (RULE) {
    SELECTOR {
        STYLES
    }
}

Seems like a bug in the code correctness check to me. Personally I think it should allow only screen in addition to screen as the media type keyword.
