...the article is about the ambiguity of the word "auth". You're talking about something a bit different.
But I've found that when people have a hard time keeping authentication and authorization straight they are mostly having a problem distinguishing the concepts, not really the terms. I really doubt using alt terminology, which is also already heavily overloaded, is going to help.
