Actually, I have no misconceptions at all. In two of the particular programs
I use, they call the "#" to be a bookmark regardless of how it's used, and
to create such a link, the menu item is to Insert; Bookmark. A LOT of
wysiwyg programs use the same terminology. Thus, if an external site lets
you know where there is a "bookmark" (and that's what they call it on those
sites), you can send a surfer right to the "bookmarked" location within the
file using the "#" sign.
Rather than concentrate on the question that was asked, you decided to
debate the labelling for an octothorpe in this context. So, a sensibe answer
might have been that, more technically, it's called ... in order to be most
accurate.

No - if the "#", or bookmark, or misnomered "fragment identifier" as you
prefer, as far as I'm concerned, I like to use the clearest acceptable
language possible. You on the other hand appear as though rather than adding
information, you want to dismiss perfectly good information and restate the
very same thing in more technical language that a LOT few people will
understand.

The quoting style you felt it necessary to mention did no harm to the post;
it was quite clear what was response and what wasn't. Your comment there was
totally uncalled for but if you just had to say something, why couldn't you
take what appears to be a newbie under your wing and politely try to help
them? You're a lousy poster and I imagine just as irritating to those around
you as you try to be here.
Oh, and why the nick change?
