Why you say that Scan Line include up to 240-250 horizontal lines.... ?
Because that's what the Specs are saying about that.
But if you don't like those term, you can say it this way:

A Scan Line includes up to 250 Lines (VHS). But that's not clear.
Way 2: A Scan Line includes up to 250 periods of a Sine Waveform (VHS).

Don you know some technical Manuals from Camcorders or VCRs? They are "talking" about things like "Resolution, better 400 Lines". These Lines aren't the Scan Lines, because PAL have to have 576 and NTSC 480 Scan Lines, right?

And that's also where the Myth about VHS-Resolution started. The Manuals of most VHS-VCRs are talking about 220 to 240 Lines - and most people are still beliving, these were Scan Lines. But analogue Resolution has (Horizontal) Lines per Scan Line as it's measurement.
