Does "flush" really mean *flush*?

Does "flush" really mean *flush*?
Or does it just mean "drain the old stuff, fill with new, and bleed as necessary"?
I make the distinction, and thus ask the question, because I know that in at least two cases -- switching to DOT5 brake fluid, and switching to R134 refrigerant -- you really needed to make sure all traces of the old were out (I've heard of people doing nitrogen purges of brake lines).
Is that actually necessary -- or the use of motor/coolant flush compounds -- when doing a "flush"?
