Hi Tyson,
No problem - and I wouldn't call it an error of intellect. It's just that on boards like this one, many (perhaps most) of us posting are crusty old engineers who mostly use the word "gain" in relation to its strictly correct (and original/traditional) meaning - which is, after all, the meaning it holds for a majority of audio engineering references to gain. Hence the ambiguity and misunderstanding. Just something to watch out for... ;)
