Is anyone else confused by Epson's paper naming conventions?

I don't see "Professional Glossy Paper" listed on their web site.  Instead,
I see:

1. "Glossy Paper Heavyweight" available in rolls
2. "Glossy Paper Photo Weight" available in rolls
3. "Photo Glossy Paper" available in rolls
4. "Photo Paper" available in rolls or sheets (although the picture shows
"Glossy Photo Paper")
5. "Photo Quality Glossy Paper" available in sheets

What the heck is the difference between "Photo Glossy Paper" and "Photo
Quality Glossy Paper" ??
I know... apparently the difference is the "Quality." :-)

Is this some quirk in the Japanese to English translation or are they
intentionally trying to confuse customers?
