The problem with the "not higher than... head" phrase is not that it changes what you call, but that it results in coaches complaining that the out you just called should be a foul tip because the ball stayed below the batter's head.

Except for near-TWP situations (e.g. catcher standing at the TOP), the phrase is irrelevant and does not come into the equation at all.
