Not at all.

I don't think that anyone else who has come to Ruby and posted on
ruby-talk in the last three years -- how long I think I've been
around -- has not grasped this after a single round of emails.

Let me rephrase that for clarity: in my memory of the last three
years, the person to whom you responded is the only person who
continues to insist that this term is confusing and is a problem.

There is the ongoing discussion about whether there might be a
better term, but no one, at least as far as I can read, is
*confused* about the meaning here.
