I read that as: If the Rules associate payment of a set of assets with performing an action, that action is a fee-based action, and (in that case) we define the fee, cost, price or charge for the action to be that set of assets. If that reading is correct, we don't apply those synonyms until we already know it's a fee-based action. Without the synonyms, my initial impression is the Rules don't associate any "payment" with the action of destroying 1 Coin, so it's not a fee-based action.
