Falkenstein violates the second of what I think of as the Two Commandments of Research:
If a name for a concept exists in the literature, you use it; you don’t create your own name for a concept that’s already in currency. If your concept is one-off (i.e., related, but somehow different) from an existing concept, it’s best to coin a term which is a modification of the current term.
Thou shalt never clobber an existing term by giving it a new meaning different from its existing meaning. Ever.

Should you still call a triangle a triangle if you’re drawing it on a curved surface?
(You’re right in general, though.)
I suppose extending is a case of “giving it a new meaning different from its existing meaning”, but it isn’t clobbering.
