As is so often the case when taught something in such a setting I have adopted it wholeheartedly and will take it with me to the grave.

the screw vs bolt question is tricky
There's certainly self tapping wood screws that are partially threaded - so it's not that bare bit per se!
And if a machine screw is threaded up to the head and that head can't be turned with a screwdriver (be it slot, posi, Phillips, torx, Robertson, hex, whatever) it really must be a bolt?
But otherwise - yes
- machine screws with a bare bit would be bolts in my book
