Ah. Point, yes.


I do maintain that there's nothing wrong with convenient shorthand, or with noting that both gods were associated with water as a way to then compare and contrast and so forth, but that's sort of orthagonal. You're right that unconscious reduction a sign of not really being familiar with the mythology. Not one of my pet peeves, but, yeah, erroneous.
