Its also "designed" for use in 2-stroke (or 2-cycle) engines. I'm not saying you are entirely incorrect, but using something outside of what it was designed for (using 2 stroke oil in a 4 stroke engine) can get you different results than what you may expect.
To make an extreme example, an Airplane is designed with travel in mind, but specifically air travel. You could use it to travel on a freeway, but it wouldn't perform the same as in the air.
