Don't let me discourage you, your points are absolutely fair and reasonable.

The only gripe I had was with the line:

It is only a generic term that isn't useful in the practice.

Because it is, once you get to the point of implementing a CI :D

For beginners, regarding the context of "pull an image and run it", you are perfectly right.
Deploying/Running a latest tag is absolutely terrible and bad.

I hope I didn't scare you away, we absolutely need more Container stuff here and you are definitely going in the right direction :)
Keep up the good work!
