I think that’s a fair point, but more generally I think the word “concept” has morphed to mean any stipulation that affects the ideas behind bars within a battle (whereas a “scheme” is a stipulation that affects their rhyming). That being said I do think there are some “concepts” that have been used that blur the line somewhat with topical battles.
