While it's maybe more pervasive, it's certainly not accurate.  A "true" 
DMZ hangs outside the firewall, the "popular" term may include service 
networks, but it's not the "true" term, since the word true tends to 
denote accuracy.

You mean oversimplification like calling two different *but similar* 
things by the same name?

A more accurate parallel would be calling both hot dogs and hamburgers 
"spam."  Unsolicited commercial e-mail, and Hormel's product are 
disimillar things which can be differentiated by context.
