Exactly! When I was new to bitcoin this tripped me up. I think @odell was the first person I heard be accurate about this when discussing the topic. There are other things in bitcoin that get simplified but in a way that makes them incorrect or allow one to draw incorrect conclusions.

What is the precise, technical definition of a "clear mempool"?
Does it mean that all pending txns could fit in the next block if it were mined "right now"?
Or is it "clear" when a non-full block is mined because there were not enough txns available to the miner to fill it?
