This is actually a harmful definition, both (1,1) and (0,2) tensors can be written as a matrix but they are very different. It's like calling vector an array but vectors require vector space and arrays are just arrays. It doesn't help that std::vector is very common in CS but 'pushing back' to a mathematical vector just doesn't make any sense
