Actually, they are not the same thing and people often misuse
the terms. I guess you are directing your comments at Paul
since it is he who wrote that though.

people here who I am sure can elaborate from electrical and audio
perspectives.

This sounds stronger than I meant it to. Sorry!!! Too lazy
