Viscosity?

Brilliant that grout is being compared to mortar! In the Lead Section it says:

"Although both grout and its close relative mortar are applied as a thick emulsion and harden over time, grout is distinguished[2] by its low viscosity and lack of lime (added to mortar for pliability); grout is thin so it flows readily into gaps, while mortar is thick enough to..."

Isn't that the wrong term? Honey has higher viscosity than water. Shouldn't it say; "low" or "lower viscosity?" And (I'm not sure,) isn't grout more sticky or adhesive? The main characteristics should be in the lead. Cheers!
