I can't speak for others' use but, yes this is starting to look like a correlation. Maybe I don't like to say "closed" because it reminds me of "covered". Also, I have a literal-minded streak which says: it's still open, just narrower, *not* closed. On the other hand there lacks a sense of anything *flowing out* of the mouth, which one may feel in lower notes, perhaps because you don't *need* as much airflow. Hope I've added clarity, not confusion. john
