I think it’s better framed as an imprecision than a mistake. The naming language has evolved in common real world usage, in the “can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube” sense of language evolution. As such, it isn’t (any longer) incorrect, only imprecise. It isn’t even necessarily ambiguous, because the usage context tends to disambiguate it. There are certainly cases where the precision matters, but I think this is only one such case if the imprecision causes misunderstanding by users of the Imba language.
