Cam Experts: Lobe Separation Angle?

I think when most people refer to dynamic compression ratio, they're referring to the actual calculated compression ratio from the point at which the intake valve closes. I know when I've used DCR calculators in the past, that exactly what they're calculating - with no inputs for load, VE, or temperature.

Sounds like that's the same as effective compression ratio? Seems more like semantics, or maybe people simply using incorrect terminology.
That's exactly what I was gettin at. I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missin. lol
