I'm not sure if this was mentioned or not, but on my home screen, when I
swipe (or flick) down to the bottom of the home screen, I hear "Page one
of two, adjustable, Swipe up or down with one finger to adjust the
value." I have always thought, and I continue to think, that the terms
are interchangeable. I guess I don't have a problem with Apple using two
interchangeable terms for the same gesture.
