Well I'll agree to disagree, as it seems rather clear as to what is what.
The only definition that seems unclear is heirloom, but that's not a big deal. I don't care about that. It's kinda like defining at what age you get the senoir citizen discount. Date when created is good enough for one to decide themselves. One reason i don't care about what is called heirloom as the information tells you next to nothing anyway. Age may be important if you're buying a used car, but a tomato variety? No not really. We are not creating new genes here, the basic buliding blocks of all tomatoes are the same age.
If one definition is accepted the end result is the same, it tells me nothing important.
So who cares if the definition is blurry?
As far as OP and hybrid, well we could not have picked worse names. Better names would have created less confusion, but it's too late for that now.
