That's the technical meaning, but in common language the two gave been interchangeable for centuries, so it's regrettably hard to be pedantic.
If that's the case, then why did Theseus need that ball of yarn from Ariadne to avoid getting lost in one?
This really puts the 1986 movie Labyrinth in a new light, haha.
