That statement is so wrong in so many ways. For a start, the syntax of the two
sentences are quite different. The second sentence refers to a name for
something, the first one does not. The second one has a qualifier ("technical")
on the defined category, the first does not. The first one states that
something is in a class; the second does not. They are about as different as
two short sentences can get. (03)
