Did not follow the instructor's waxing poetry on global vs oop subplotting but the official documentation is pleasantly clear.
Those data-figure heavy graphs in scientific papers these days always have subplot and this is now it's done.
the entire figure is returned as an object and the subplots are returned as an array of object that you can later use to plot on.

alas, everyone from opening teaching resources to official documentation assumes one knows what an Axes, which in fact is a custom term, means. It means subplot but you will not know without inference from context. Not to mention people use it for the plural of axis...
