How many touch-and-goes?

I don't see much difference between them in terms of an intention to land..

Many many, in helicopters and airplanes. But a touch-n-go is not a missed. As for the intention to land you are correct. Although on more than one occasion, on a touch-n-go I have been asked to make it a full stop, kind of late in the landing phase. The worst (while off subject) was being asked to abort a takeoff at rotation in a CE 340, I asked if I was on fire, tower said no, and I aborted takeoff anyway, barely got it stopped. Turns out they wanted to change my IFR clearance for a vastly different, non preferred route. When they said I was not on fire, I should have continued T/O.
