Looks like I misworded. Instead of saying "for instance" which means that "this is what happened with me", I should have said something else that meant "someone could have done it like this". Sorry for that, I was just happy that finally I felt I was able to convey what I meant.
As for me, personally. I have not read his book so I can not answer wether or not I think your definition differs from his. But if it doesn't, a simple link to his work where it outlined HIs interpetation of VC would have done more than suffice, but been more clear. A great example of this is the "defensive driving" poll you started. Though it reads like a blurb from legal contract, it is actually quite well and clear. which made it easy for me (and possibly others in the future) to make a meaningful response that was not only well thought out, but came from the heart. I'm sure you would agree with me there.
