interesting thing here is that planes by definition are 2d.... (so either poi spinners are wrong or the dictionary is wrong, my guess is that both are wrong in someways right in others...)

all in all. i don't think anyone has complete anything control here at this point. as poi as well as language is constantly shifting and evolving through new phases of development. just as life dies and life grows anew, so will poi styles, so will move names, so will what we think is a WHOLE system when we realize we forgot something when a beginner does something we never thought possible and doesn't fit into our dogmatic "complete control of X system"

kinda like quantum researchers telling new age kids "well we haven't found out anything yet, we just haven't been able to disprove it "
