Huh? Arguing with whom about what? I haven't even formed an opinion on
the
matter. I'm just asking a straightforward question to try to understand
the
FAA's definition.

OK, let me expand. When you're trying to ascertain or clarify a regulatory
circumstance in the FARs, and that circumstance is any more complicated
than, for example, the most rudimentary student pilot experience question,
then you most often have to interpret and construct your applicable guidance
using the appropriate references from several separate paragraphs and
sub-paragraphs of a section or Part, and occasionally from multiple Parts.
Thus my earlier reference to 1.1, 91.501(b), 119.21(a)5, and 119.23(b). I
don't even know if my references provide the correct answer -- just my guess
at the OP's query.

I thought you would have understood this already, and thus my suggestion of
argumentativeness when you implied that you expected a neat, complete
explanation and definition all within one paragraph. So sorry.
