As my signature indicates - I don't own nor am I the originator of the two different terms, types and descriptions of "dish" as they apply to bicycles. They existed before I arrived on the scene in 1984.

Tulio was a generation older than me, Sheldon roughly the same age. If you read SB texts, you'll see examples of usage of the word dish in various forms, with the meaning being clear by context.
While you claim not to own the words, you do fee free to "correct" those who use the terms differently that you would. I posted only to show that the terms are used loosely by many and folks needn't feel confined to narrow usage a long as they understood the concept, and that their meaning was clear by context.
Yes, the term was coined, reflecting the dish shape of wheels, but langiage evolves, and multiple uses are equally correct.
