This is true for any point level and any adventure though isnt it? It doesnt really matter much if you call it an orc or a dire whatnot or an Ogre Magi. It doesnt really matter if its at a -1, -5 or -10 modifier for a skill check.

I would say that the name is very important. "My 250 point knight weapon master got killed by two orcs" is very different than ". . . by two giants with flaming swords." Even if you could conceivably make orcs so tough they compare to those giants, the feeling is different. I like watch my DFers wade through 20+ orcs and think the real problem was providing insufficient cover to their two NPC flunkies, not being outnumbered by better than 4-1 and surrounded. That way when they fight tough monsters, like the minotaur they faced, they know the monster is tough because they know they are tough. It's lame to be 250 points and get killed by Giant Rats because the GM made Giant Rats really tough, instead of getting killed by Ravenous Giant Devil Rats, whose vampiric and disease-ridden bite punches though armor like butter and who radiate cosmic evil damage.
