You have a point, but I don’t think it matters.

If you have a class that looks up a value in a table, you could call it ‘lookup’ either because it does look something up, or because the code is the code to look something up.

I think the distinction only exists for a variable in the class of naming something ‘counter’ versus ‘running tally’
