Also note the conflation between two types of singularity even though only one type (intelligence explosion) is in the name! Isn't the reason one would use the term "intelligence explosion" to distinguish your view from the event horizon one?

It is best not to use the term "intelligence explosion" for some hypothetical future event in the first place. That is severely messed up terminology.
