RE: Can't "waveguides" also be "horns", and vice-versa ?

Thanks. Here's an example of wave guide marketeering, the Dayton H6512:

https://www.parts-express.com/Dayton-Audio-H6512-6-1-2-x-12-Waveguide-1-3-8-18-TPI-270-318

Its description says 'A waveguide couples the high frequency driver to the listening space without the harmful distortion artifacts of marginally designed and implemented horn loading. It achieves this through the use of non-traditional geometries and lower expansion rates. The resultant sound has less distortion, with an "open" characteristic not often associated with typical "pinched" or "honky" compression driver/horn combinations. Dayton Audio professional waveguides reveal all of the articulate, accurate sound reproduction that your HF drivers are capable of delivering, whether the application is live sound, critical studio monitoring, or demanding home audio playback.'

Problem is it's all marketing piffle. It's a knockoff of the Pyle PH612, which Pyle unapologetically calls a horn:
