I understand the point you're trying to make. Call it whatever abbreviation you want, but I still consider DILD a technique because for most people, part of DILD is the RC practice - so it's all tied in together. Doing RCs during the day conditions the mind to do it at night, therefore a DILD via RC would be a result of the technique of practicing RCs. Does that make any sense?

Some people just spontaneously become lucid without doing RCs (me). I can see how you wouldn't want to necessarily consider that a technique, per se. But, at some point, you still say to yourself, "Hey, this isn't real - I must be dreaming!" (sort of doing a RC).

I guess DILD is one of those gray zones.
