Post Formats, not Custom Post Types

This is for Zac Gordon: At the end of this video you're referencing Custom Post Types, but in actuality you're referencing Post Formats. Right? This is very confusing when you do a compare on the information you shared and the WordPress Codex.

Both custom post types and post formats can be used when naming templates. For example, if you had a custom post type called "Books", you would name the file "content-books.php".
