Hi Al,

You're right about the paddles not being iambic. You do need a dual 
lever or dual paddle key to use the iambic function of an iambic keyer. 
With a single lever key you can still send with a iambic keyer, just not 
iambically. I know of no other reason (except Ultimatic mode, or maybe 
greater adjustment flexibility) to have a dual lever key. So I think it 
is sort of a natural evolution of language that people tend to call dual 
paddle keys "iambic".
