I don't think so, because it's a description of a system which does work.
But it's more like an HTTP API, writing or requesting some data, getting a response, doing something else with that, etc. - whereas typically with stdin/stdout you're doing something more like `generate-data | transform | transform2 | store`, manipulating an initial input, not decision-making and providing more input based on the output of early input. Not to say you can't, but it does seem a bit weird to me too.
(To be fair I suppose a shell is an obvious counter-example. Or anything that launches an interactive prompt or interpreter.)
