Well, that'd be a misdefinition. Also, CP really should read CL

That's incorrect. Cl (lower case L) is the coefficient of lift. The center
of pressure on an aircraft is referred to as the aerodynamic center (ac).

what part of that did your aero engineering brain not understand?

the original post was correct, your comment not.
