Why the emphasis on "eras" rarher than "style"?

I wonder, @Jens Erik @Tim Smith , why the design choice of "Eras" as opposed to "styles" for differentiating between JP and JW. I find interesting the idea of having such a drastic temporal choice, as opposed to merely making a cosmetic change.

I can't say specifically what it will be called in the game at release (since things are still under development). The phrase "mixed eras" is a good shorthand for us to use on forums, etc. since the community already knows what it means.

I see thanks, but will we actually go back to 1993 this time, like in the first game, or will it be something different, with fully symmetrical gameplay (because I never liked that in JWE1 playing in JP style locked me out of Wu Research, Paleobotany, and more than half of the dinosaur roster).
