And a kangaroo is a marsupial. Technically, a big red is a type of kangaroo, but if I see a kangaroo, I don't say "There's a Big red (technically)". I say "There's a kangaroo".
So...I'm not sure what your point is. Intercooler/aftercooler/radiator - they're all just heat exchangers. You call it aftercooler, and no-one knows what you're talking about. Everyone else says intercooler, and EVERYONE knows what is being talked about.
