It has been dismissed for semantic reasons... people just gloss 
over it.

"Seq" is a term that is used in formal specification in CS that 
usually means sequence-of-values-with-type(X). Sequence-of-ints, 
sequence-of-chars…

In general usage, "sequence" usually implies a series of values 
where distance/order is important for interpretation: 
DNA-sequence, Fibonacci-sequence, instruction-sequence, 
animation-sequence, sequences in music scores (time series in 
general), the output of generators (recurrence relations etc), 
etc.
