As someone who is primarily a 'network guy' (I only play Phone Guy on alternate Tuesdays and Thursdays) I'd like to hope I never get someone who read that PDF in touching my network. A router is not a switch! Neither a router or a switch is a hub!

I don't think I would care what terminology someone called something as long as it was correct and worked. They can tell me they used purple elephants to cross connect the sneaky-weasel with the widget and I wouldn't care if it was correct.
My problem is when they say it AND do it wrong. Granted, wrong terminology is usually a sign of wrong practices.

As many of us know that manual was written by a sparkie to provide basic training to other sparkies. Despite some errors (among then the description of a switch, hub and router) I think it's a pretty good reference for beginners and those who need a basic understanding to be more competent in their work.
It never was meant to be a technical manual for those in the telecom industry or network technicians however CGs and IT "professionals" might do well to study it as telecom, wiring skills and especially neatness are not their strong points.

When I worked for a friend of mine we were adding a new line to a system. The verizon installer person( notice I did not say female) told me it had put our line on the PURPLE GRAY lucky for me I remembered the crayon colors.
