With user defined types there is at least some context. With a plain string (or any built in type) it can come from any where and mean anything. The difference is, with a user defined type you know the meaning of the attribute, with a built in type you do not, not in the same way at least.
The whole point of my example was no, you do not necessarily know the meaning of a user-defined type that is used as an attribute.
