Difference between resizing and scaling?

What is the difference between resizing and scaling? Seems like scaling is just a special case of resizing.

Scaling scales the image while keeping the dimensions constant. If you were to scale a image 2x, you will see a zooming effect with some part of the image expelled from the frame. Now I think I should rename it to zooming. The dimensions don't change.

Resize is a case where the actual dimensions of the image change say (1920 x 720) -> (416,416)

It looks like the Resize function doesn't allow you to change the aspect ratio though:

It looks like it takes a tuple of integers but letterbox_image is expecting a single integer (despite the docstring to the contrary):
