A resource was meant to be a macro-like predefined complete pipeline which can be used (called) from different points in the sitemap. You're right saying that a resource is itself a complete pipeline and not a fragment which gets included into a already partially assebled pipeline. Admittedly the semantic verb "call" in resource activation is leading to wrong interpretation of it.
