Looks more like they're looking for known pieces of domains rather than really parsing the domain as a whole.

Indeed. The article's suggestion does not really make any sense.

If you look at the full list, it seems like it's just autocompleting words in the dictionary. Here's some examples:

    if.corp.microsoft.com
    my.corp.microsoft.com
    one.corp.microsoft.com
    year.corp.microsoft.com
    baby.corp.microsoft.com
    pain.corp.microsoft.com
    crisis.corp.microsoft.com
    improvement.corp.microsoft.com
    devil.corp.microsoft.com
    animal.redmond.corp.microsoft.com

I don't any of these some of those are actual subdomains...

I can second that. I work at Microsoft and those subdomains don't exist at all as far as I can see from the internal network.
