Not sure, I am happy with the above: a "Product" does not have a "meta type",
it the "meta type" of the underlaying content class.

And it's not the "Product" factory method but the factory for the
underlaying content class.

Good!

Maybe, we can explain it somehow like this:

     A CMF content object is associated with a "type", managed by the
     TypesTool.

     A type is based on a content class (which is either a class
     defined in a Python product or a ZClass (which again lives in
     a product) and has additional information maintained by the TypesTool,
     such as actions, dicussability, etc.

Then part of the above will become:

    ....
    Content class meta type
    Product name
    Content class constructor (inside "Product")
    ....
