Or did you just mean that your way is a better way to phrase it for not confusing everyone?

Right. It's good for not confusing new people, and sometimes also good for not confusing yourself.

I misinterpreted because you said "better" (implying a difference), and "abstraction" is not necessarily the same as "identical".
