I've never heard either phrase before. The basic principle is to work the scene to make sure you have all angles covered. If you're photographing a group of people in the street, for example, you don't usually know at the time which shot is likely to be the best because you can't concentrate on every detail in the frame all the time, so you're going with the overall feel of the shot. When you've finished you have time to evaluate the shots and look at the little details that make a difference between dross and good.
