I did the exact same thing when I was reading the post! I had to stop reading and take a good 10 seconds to verify which one was which in my head. I use "auth" all the time as a placeholder for "you need to login to use this". I've never really thought too much about authorization versus authentication because to me, those are just implementation details under the "auth" umbrella.
