Right, it's a shorthand way of referring to the score. No one is complaining about the other things (mid-round graphics and such), but you beat the stuffing out of that anyway. Maybe you think that looks foolish?
Are you ignoring the foregoing discussion about scoring being not about a number of throws, but a comparative number of throws to either par or your competitor?
Please read the last paragraph of my post that you quoted. I'm not beating the stuffing out of anything. I'm just explaining why somebody else might refer to it as a "score".
