You've missed my point, its not simantics, thats what the two techniques are called. All harmonics are basically the same thing, the difference is the way they are sounded, and thats why the different harmonic techniques have different names. I'm telling you what they are called because this isn't something I've guessed at surfing on the web, I've been schooled in music and thats what I was taught, and it isn't wrong. I've even confirmed the two names from different sources.
All harmonics are essentially the same, the difference is the technique you use to produce them, and thats why they have different names. You dont sound an artificial harmonic with your pick, and you dont make a pinch harmonic by lightly touching the string on the fretboard. Different techniques, not simantics.
