I once saw a CS student ask for homework help on Reddit, with a question premised on the course material's attempted formalization of "high level" and "low level" programming languages as a partial ordering based on machine-translatability from one language to the other. The terms "level n" and "level n-1" were being bandied about. Another instance of adding confusion by trying to sharpen the definition of terminology that is probably most useful when it remains fuzzy.
