In principle, you are right Peter. In practice, the term "logic
programming" has become synonymous with the very narrow sense in which
I was using it. For this reason alone, I find that there is value in
distantiating ourselves from it. I do not wish to call Oz a logic
programming language precisely because that invites inevitable and
damaging misinterpretation.
