I agree somewhat; applying the word 'interior' to a triangle is technically, a
complete misnomer. However, we *can* say which is the inside and which is the
outside, as a matter of convenience, even if it is technically incorrect. We
just all agree to understand what we *really* mean in this particular context:
front and back ( as determined by the direction of the surface normal) Again,
strictly as a matter of convenience.
