That term (and its variants) is the start of the problem.

Of course you can validate an access token, then you know that you have a valid 
access token.
But you also need to find out whether that access token actually authorizes 
access!
Mixing up these two functions (one can be entirely in a library, the other 
needs application logic) is likely to be one of the biggest reasons for 
problems around using tokens.

Developing developer-friendly terminology may not have been on our initial list 
of security topics, but we now know it needs to be done.

(Now I have no idea why this note is in this thread.)
