You're misunderstanding the misunderstanding.
You're right! The relative sizing of models is dead simple. This doesn't help when there are improvements between release numbers, and models are released one at a time instead of as a family.
When Sol 6.4 comes out and the latest Astra is still 6.1, which do you use?

Okay, now how many generations until you use Terra over Astra?

Probably never? Unless they get super far out of sync, a "medium" model just isn't the right choice for a "large" (or "extra large") model task.
Or I might try both and pick whichever I prefer for a given task...
