What you can do is "reverse engineer" a definition, based on what he writes. That's essentially what I'm trying to do.
If there already was a clean/thorough definition to which I could refer, then I wouldn't see a need to develop one. I think the Wikipedia article is pretty good, but it's limited to that which has been published elsewhere. It's not the place for defining anything new. I think there are useful terms and concepts which are used informally, but they're not hammered out yet. That's what I'm trying to do in the "some VC definitions" thread.
Do we really need new definitions or flavors of "Vehicular Cycling"? Do we need new definitions of "Defensive Driving"? These things aren't rocket science, HH...and the existing definitions are perfectly acceptable to the vast majority of folks.
For those who may be interested, the
Wikipedia entry is more comprehensive, cogent, and relevant than HH's ramblings and wanderings on the subject. And, even though it is a fairly lengthy entry with references and a bibliography, it's much more succinct than the long-winded Head.
