Don't worry too much about it. I was being jocular. Like I parenthetically wrote, saxophones are sometimes treated as brass, though usually considered reed instruments.
A lot of it has to do with the orchestration/style (they tend to be considered reeds in jazz, brass in marching bands, etc.) and also the type of saxophone (lower-register baritone saxophones tend to be part of the low brass section in most styles, soprano saxes are basically always lumped in with woodwinds since they're very similar-sounding to English horns).
