Which is what I said. Sorry for being a bit vague.

Even though on technicalities it's not sight reading, having played a song once or a few times before helps with unexpected things, like knowing when a song stops (Kachoufusetsu, Alfarshear) or slow downs (era, Faxx) or when it bursts out at you randomly (loads of IIDX songs fit here).

Just expanding on what nilmind said I guess.

Also, sight reading normally makes something more of an accomplishment, so using it for whenever you clear a song you haven't downright emmorized kinda throws out the purpose of saying you sight read it...
