I could quote the third paragraph of my first reply, where I described
the track menu. ( The one which you said you were aware of what I
described.) But given this post, I have to think this discussion is a lost
cause. Call things whatever you want, have whatever "belief" you wish.
TDA will use the terms as they have been, as will the other programs,
you can feel that TDA's use is wrong all you want, it won't change reality
in the slightest manner.

Perhaps if you had actually read, at least the first three paragraphs
of my initial four paragraph reply, and given what I said some thought,
you could have a better understanding. As it is you seem more
concerned about what terms are used than about the processes
involved.

Luck;
Ken
