; ^+ y9 m: r6 qGerunds act like any other noun and can take the definite or indefinite article when referring to a specific instance of an activity:

The rule you’re citing is that the gerund does not take the definite article when referring to an activity in general, but this rule also applies in other cases where the noun isn’t a gerund:
4 ^- e/ z+ B5 K% K; h4 P$ |$ B/ _. j' s0 N% m

! o5 o5 a0 U j9 O: y: O ZI like basketball.
) f9 f" w ` w) n/ N$ a
' S, H7 D! B5 |I suspect this rule is taught because it’s explitictly different from many Romance languages, where the definite article is used to refer to general activities.
