confusing category "TV Movie" vs "TV Pilot" (produced busted pilot that does not go to series)

"TV Movie" is not an accurate way to categorize TV pilots that do not get picked up to series. Instead, IMDb should refer to these produced busted pilots as "TV Pilot" (not "TV Movie"). The Surgeon General (2013) is an example of one of many produced TV pilots each year that do not get picked up to series. It is not a TV Movie. It is not even an episode that is aired on television for public consumption. If there's a way to make the category of TV Pilot distinct from TV Movie, this would improve IMDb.
