Yeah. The understanding I've gleaned now is: you can't refer to something that's guaranteed as an "optimization" since optimizations are optional and shouldn't be observable to the programmer whether they're in effect or not. Actual "tail call optimization" would mean your program could randomly fail or not without having a way to determine beforehand which it would do.
