API and web interface show different standard Lead fields
Hello, if I log in to my salesforce developer account and click on Setup/Customize/Leads/Add a custom field to leads, it shows me the existing standard and custom fields for the Lead object. In particular it shows a Name field but no FirstName or LastName fields.
However, if I write code to call describeSObjects on the Lead object, and iterate through the fields, there is no Name field. However, there are LastName and FirstName fields.
Similarly, the API documentation documents the FirstName and LastName fields but not the Name field.
Why does the web interface show different fields than describeSObjects? And, are there any other places where the two lists of fields differ?
Thanks

These kinds of differences are all over the place in the app.
