Is it really a "mistake" in Mercurial's context?

I thought that their named branches do have defined "starting point", and
it is not a mistake at all for them to version "from this point on, this
lineage of history is associated with this symbolic name (which is a
branch)".

It probably does not make sense in the context of git where a branch is
defined to be "illusion" (at least currently).
