Sorry B2N2 but it's not a semantic. There is quite a bit of difference between a rating and a qualification. That is why they are given different names.
For example, with a qualification, there is no theory, no test, no renewals.
Likewise if I asked the FAA to add a night qualification to my FAA certificate they would tell me that there was no such thing.
To ignore that is to ignore the facts to suit your argument.
