this is needlessly pedantic

first, they are certainly not instructions so that is a much worse name

but more importantly, we use words in new contexts all the time. Do you object to calling the computer device "mouse" because it's not a mouse? how about "neural network"? "ignition" on an electric vehicle?

"cot" is no more misleading than thousands of words you use every day.
