OK, I apologize - that was my misunderstanding, and I should have worded it as "I think you're confusing" rather than accusatory. I wouldn't hold it against anyone to do so - the naming collision is unfortunate and has been a source of confusion for as long as it has existed.

Oh yeah it is absolutely confusing, and I think it's done real harm to the concept to have it misused in linux so badly.
