I agree that the name 'boolean operations' is not really ideal for users, but it is certainly not a 'loose analogy'. You can consider a filled shape as a set of points. Then these operations are exactly equivalent to performing the set operations on those points. The analogy is quite tight<nobr> <wbr></nobr>:) (The terminology is also that of numerous papers in the CG community)
