I am, however, reconsidering the phraseology of what I'm toying with due to your concern.
This is why I'm generally not a fan of the term. The chances of two identical plays happening in the same game are nearly zero. There's always some difference, and whether that difference is significant enough to warrant a different call is up to the calling official.
