dude, i'm drunk and only took math courses with math/cs majors when i'd run out of gas understanding the stuff i liked in phil-o. i'm just guessing there's some license taken with terms, from decent academia downwards.
using wikipedia geeks me out in situations like these. i'm sure most who would contribute to wikipedia on a math article can say more stuff than i can.....
but i've both trolled the fuck out of it with impressively-uncorrected and unchallenged results. and more germaine to this kind of thing, i've seen contributions be pretty sloppy and amat'ish regarding the rare stuff i do know enough to be judgemental about an entry on the topic.
