Well, I've been trying to figure out what specifically you're referring
to, and I'm not having much luck. The author(s) you mention seem
to be associated with Aspect Oriented Programming, which, although
I have no particular reason to think it worth my attention, nonetheless
has not (as far as I know) *redefined* any terms, but rather seems
to have made up their own terms. But perhaps terms such as
"aspects" and "cross cutting" had an earlier meaning I was not
aware of? Or perhaps I'm just missing your direction entirely.

I am particularly disgusted by their perversion of Dijkstra's intellectual discipline of separating of concerns.
