I understand your reasoning and you make a good point that's changing my understanding of it in a way, but I don't think it's reasonable to make the assumption the use of the term was a company wide, conscious decision on the part of SE's English speaking staff to use this and all other terminology a certain way. We're after all talking about one post by one community representative on a forum subsection that may or may not be of particularly high priority for SE in terms of ARR's development at the moment. There are a dozen unanswered questions on the lore forum, you could find among them a post I made asking to clarify aspects of Keeper lore that was made very shortly after the lore forum opened. That post, like many others, was left unanswered by any persons with authority. So I see no reason to inquire there again before phase 3.
I suppose all I can claim with any certainty is that the way they've presented this bit of lore is flawed in that it allows room for ambiguity and disagreements like this one.
