Your correct in your definition Norm, wasn't making a statement in supprot of the terms, but heard it a lot 30-40 years ago hanging around IRS (local race track) and machine shops. Now we use terms like" balancing the rotating assembly", etc. Just saying the terms were used by many engine builders and hot rodders who new what they were doing. At least I thought so. Times change and so have the definitions used to explain a process.

I just spent some time cruising some internet car sites and found the term balancing and blueprinting to still be widley used with an explaination similar to yours without the redundant part
