Without sounding condescending, but as a very late 'bloomer' - only working in development/software for 3 years and aiming towards an application architect role - I always thought this was the consensus.

It's similar to the "unit" in "unit testing": people will relate the most basic meaning to something they already understand, resulting in different, subtle distinctions.

In this case the breakdown actually seems the same to me as with the common unit testing misunderstanding - breaking down by syntactic form instead of conceptual form.
