I understand your argument Motu and respect your point of view but would make the following point - you are assuming that legislation is correct.....
As I have said before if we change the question slightly the answer is very different.
Q. Is a Trike a Bike?
A. No - Qualify - Tri = 3, Bi = 2
However if we abandon the colloquial useage of "bike" and look at the root of the problem:
Trike is an abreviation of Motortricycle. Bike is an abreviation of Motorbicycle.
Both Motorbicycles and Motortricycles are subsets of the group Motorcycles.
Therefore:
Q. Is a Trike a motorcycle? (Where trike is assumed to be Motortricycle)
A. Yes - Qualify...see above.
Q.E.D.
In space, no one can smell your fart.
