Have you wised up yet or still think the above it true?

OK may one one thousandth of a percent of the greenhouse's gas is warmed by the sun, but most of it is warmed by convection. You really don't get it the gas is warmed by conduction and convection. I suppose for those few greenhouses that pump in CO2 to promote plant growth has a little more gas warmed up by direct radiation. But even them most of the gas will be warmed by the warm floor, tables, pots, plants, etc. Those will be warmed by radiation. The key word is "DIRECT".
