I just find that many people are under the impression that azw3 is just a standard epub wrapped up in an Amazon package. I like to let people know it's not quite that simple. That's all.
My apologies if I touched a nerve. It wasn't my intention.

I thought it was a bunch of html and css and image and stuff resources wrapped in a binary database wrapper instead of an open ZIP implementation.
So I still don't get what difference you are trying to make. What does it matter how it's unwrapped? And yasher koach that AZW3 doesn't use filenames. That changes what exactly?
What makes this particularly funny is that all this pedantry was activated by my referring to the editor as an alternative to KindleUnpack which suffers all the same problems for all the same reasons, as does a conversion to EPUB.
By all means, pedant away (always fun
) -- but lets be equally pedantic on both sides lest we inadvertently cause far more confusion.
