Disagree. This has nothing to do with the terms. The statement:
tell application "AdobeAcrobat"
won't work if the process "AdobeAcrobat" doesn't exist even if you wrap it in a "using terms from..." block
And I use "tell application" with a variable name for the process quite often ... it's okay if you use only generic commands and classes.
