Yes, indeed - that's what I thought. The very phrase "event-driven
programming" to describe programs written with callbacks annoys me; why
can't people be honest and say "interrupt-handler programming"? Programs
written e.g. with the CSP formalism "handle" events just as much as
those written with interrupt handlers do!
