Retired or not it says active duty time. What are you reading that tells you anything different?

The active word in the answer is "can". That does not mean "will" or "shall".
If an individual accepts retirement from one federal agency (DOD or other), they cannot then use the same time to qualify for another annuity. From what you are saying, an individual could retire from the military with 20 years service, then apply that to an ATCS retirement at 25 years (just 5 years later) and collect 2 pensions. That is incorrect.
Tower Boss was correct in saying that a military retiree cannot use their time for SCD computation.
