| I was surprised to see in the 'replacements parts' section of the Lego
website, that they refer to studs as knobs! Not always – there are a few parts
where studs are referenced, but they're vastly outnumbered by knobs.
A lot of their official names for bricks differ to those used here.
See attached image.

Maybe TLG consider studs to be solid and knobs to be hollow??

Nope, there are hollow studs that TLG calls studs.
It’s just that TLG’s naming is inconsistent, riddled with typos and errors, and
not always useful (WIG #139?).

That would explain why the image of the brick with the additional side-stud is
labelled as having 1 knob…
