Indeed; along similar lines is this quotation:

  "I am far from thinking that nomenclature is a remedy for every defect in
  art or science: still I cannot but feel that confusion of terms generally
  springs from, and always leads to, confusion of ideas."

	-- John Louis Petit, "Architectural Studies in France", 1854

which a friend mine found several decades (sigh) back. To your last
observation, this one is 'only' from 1854!
