Frb is an ambiguous term to use to describe the banking system

A better description for Frb would be partial reserve banking. To use the word Fractional is somewhat ambiguous because it allows for (does not exclude) the possibility that the fraction might be greater than unity.

Partial reserve banking (clearly) means strictly less than unity, which is why it is a more accurate description.
