英国围棋著作家John Fairbairn揭露：
日本围棋研究者将棋块税（即：明清围棋规则下的“还棋头”）特别称之为“日本的棋块税规则”。
帖子在：Strategic differences due to group tax
内容摘录如下：
The Japanese term for group tax is kirichin (cutting tax) but this was a term made up by Japanese go researchers. They also were the ones who decided to call the rules they originally inherited from Tang China "Japanese rules" (and the two stages of more recent Chinese rules were dubbed Primary and Secondary Chinese rules, the latter being the version with group tax removed). They freely acknowledge the misnomer, but it did at least reflect modern practice. However, when they talk about Tang rules, they specifically call those "Japanese rules with group tax" (切り賃つき日本ルール), but given they accept the misnomer that really means "very old Chinese rules with group tax".
机器+个别人工修正翻译如下：
棋块税的日本术语是kirichin（切賃金），但这是由日本围棋研究者编造的一个术语。
他们还决定将最初从唐朝继承下来的规则称为“日本规则”
（更近的中国规则的两个阶段被称为初级和二级中国规则，后者是取消棋块税的版本）。
他们坦然承认用词不当，但它确实至少反映了现代的做法。
然而，当他们谈到唐朝的规则时，他们特别称之为“日本的棋块税规则”(切り賃つき日本ルール),
考虑到他们使用这个用词不当的说法，这实际上意味着“非常古老的中国棋块税规则”。
