While a component body can for the most part be used for the same thing;
it is not the same thing. Simply borrowing terms and then applying their
meanings incorrectly never gets anyone anywhere. While some people on
this have no plans of every using any other language besides CF, some
people on this list may simply be new programmers and for whatever
reason have picked CF as their first language. It would be awful for the
later group to learn incorrect meanings of terms because it could
negatively affect their ability to code with other languages or
integrate well with more traditional programmers at a later date.
