At least that's how it's always been since I've been into pickups. People have always used the term 3/4t,8-lugger,or C/20 to distinguish a 3/4t. To me the heading,"Support For Longbeds",is about supporting longbeds vs shortbed which get the lion's share of attention here,and it looks like amongst the O.P's friends. I don't really care,but it's like saying female woman or wet water or round tire,that's all.

Ok, I understand your disposition now. I didn't mean anything by asking (just in case). So the term "longbed/shortbed" is more of an entry level naming scheme.
