I'm not the one who started this discussion on what touch typing means, I've just given my view on it. Perhaps I could've phrased it more softly, but I won't deny it's what I think. And again, I agree with your assertion, but only when specificity is actually required. Otherwise, if you're going to claim, outside of those contexts, that touch typing only refers to a specific technique, then yes, I think you are being pedantic.
EDIT: Since I replied to your initial comment, I'll update this one too. There definitely is some confusion with regard to your analogy. The point I was trying to make is that while Taekwondo is a type of martial art, it has different styles. From my point of view, you think only a specific style meets the definition of Taekwondo, and all others are something else entirely. If I were to choose a different name, I'd say something like 10-finger, or the home row technique. But I'm not going to try and force you to use any term other than what you want to use. I just have my own opinion on when it's appropriate to be strict and precise in its definition.
The point is that I and others are clearly attempting to refer to a specific technique, even if we're doing so using a term with which you disagree. If you dislike us using the term we're using, then please provide an alternate term that we can use to refer to the specific technique. Otherwise, how are we to discuss said specific technique without giving offense?
I edited my reply after I saw your edit.
