Bibliography and Cited Works Problem

I think there's a bug or at least bibliography and cited works format are incorrect.

For example:

Bibliography option (button) prints out Cited Works and Bibliography. Fine.

Cited Works option (button) also prints out Cited works and Bibliography. Incorrect. Because bibliography is what I have read and it contains no cited works.

I think bibliography and cited works are duplicate functions, with just different title.

Why do they both have the same output? 

For example:

(Works Cited, 2010) 

and 

(Bibliography, 2010)

Bibliography is what the writer has read, and it does not need to be appended in the document - not until the very end anyways (the bibliography list).

Therefore making (Bibliography, 2010) irrelevant, and redundant. 

The only ones needed to be appended in the work is references and cited works. Bibliography should have a complete different form filling function, or at least output.

Reference and works cited can have the same form filling page.

But bibliography in my opinion should have a separate one that the writer fills in but appends and update the bibliography list at the end of the document. It shouldn't append this: (Bibliography, 2010), to the sentence or paragraphs as it's redundant. Because, if that was the case then it'll be a reference or cited works, and not bibliography. They're all different meanings, but Word 2010 treat them all the same.

Or at least, have a option to disable the append option of: (Bibliography, 2010)

To conclude, the bibliography and works cited are completely different, and Microsoft Office 2010 are treating it as if they are exactly the same (with just the different title). This is completely incorrect, and lazy programming.
