On one hand, you're right. On the other hand, English is basically never consistent, so why should this be an exception?

This isn't an argument about consistency. It's an argument about whether overloaded terms are acceptable. If you want to argue that terms
shouldn't
be consistent that's an entirely different (and entirely bizarre, IMO) discussion.
