Yes I agree with you on that. Should have used another word to describe them.

And I crewed for Rocky Aoki for a Gordon Bennet balloon race back in the mid 1970'sI met Rocky at a balloon race in Houston just before he was going to make the Pacific crossing. A wind caught him when he was landing and he struck a car moving it sideways a few feet. He was a gracious guy.
He was also a gold medal winner in wrestling.
