Apparently I'm confused. I thought flyfishing was define merely as casting by using the energy of the line to propel a lure forward. Nothing more, nothing less.

So are you saying that I'm flyfishing when I'm flicking out baitfish patterns but once I switch to a Clouser then I'm not? ...or is it only when tie my Clouser on a jig hook (as I often do) that I am no longer flyfishing? So when I'm shooting a floater 3 quarters down current and swinging or stripping in then I'm flyfishing but if I cast 1/4 upstream and mend like crazy to change my presentation to a dead drift then I'm not flyfishing? If I suspend my weighted fly using a floating line that is fly fishing but once I add a indicator I'm not?
