victory based on pledged delegates alone is something they pulled out of their asses when it became clear that he was going to be the loser. 2383 is the 50.1% from a number that includes super-delegates. They don't just get to change the rules and say it has to be reached with pledged alone, certainly not when their failed candidate couldn't reach that number on his best day. Sanders himself needs more than 100% of remaining delegates to clinch by his own standard. It's a bullshit argument, and one I'm tired of hearing about.
