Contradiction?

Am I stupid or is this a contradiction, "...before being named as chief executive officer in 1969. He was named as the firm's CEO in 1976..."? Doesn't CEO mean Chief Executive Officer? In which case he was first named as such either in 1969 or 1976, but not both. Cottonshirt (talk) 07:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
