Based on my experience with these lines, that is an unfounded assumption

You are EXACTLY RIGHT! I wish there was some consistency amongst manufactures as well. "same as 12# test" is not consistent. Same goes for hooks...2X, 3X, 6X what exactly is the baseline? Each is relative to something different. Further 3/0 4/0 etc is NOT THE SAME across different makes. It is a PIA.
