Re: 'advantage point' for 'vantage point'

There’s a directionality about the idea of a vantage point that fits in well with the meaning of ad- ‘towards’. A vantage point is one from which you can admire the particular view; I have wondered if advantage point involved a blend with that word. (Pretty hard to prove or to deny.)
