No, you probably have it exactly correct... Just like peter said though,
people using the names interchangeably is aggravating.
Of course, no offense to anyone on the list, when you are in conversation

know then. That is one of my first signs to discount someone as a valid

You know the ad campaign: "Pork. The other white meat"? Maybe their should
be one for Java: "Java. Has nothing to do with the script."
