The fact that a standard exists somewhere for something doesn't mean that it's an accepted-in-practice usage. Or even vaguely imply.

You probably don't have a jar of SRM 2387 peanut butter on your shelf, for instance.

The three-term separation makes plenty of sense and when I see all three together in a doc it's generally clear that they mean something along those lines, but it's far from normal use.

Late edit: to make this perhaps a bit more useful / constructive: because of ^ this, it's being perceived as a clickbait title. And perception is all that matters in "is this title clickbait", because it's what determines the level of interaction someone is willing to pay at the beginning.

Clickbait-title leads to clickbait-pushback. You don't have to change it of course, and it fits with the post's narrative, but I can pretty much guarantee that it'll keep causing this kind of reaction in some (many? few? idk) people.
