The terminology in the literature is not canonical and the Tree theory reflects
that.

Does the "balanced" function define a height-balanced binary tree?

Depends on what you mean by height-balanced. If you think about it you will
realize that "height t - min_height t ≤ 1" means that leafs are at most one
level apart. This is weaker than what wikipedia calls "complete" but strong than
"avl".

You can always use quickcheck (eg by stating a conjecture) to test if some
definition implies anoter definition. For trees this tends to work very well.
