I can hardly remember what that was about. But I think it was something about -- You can have "flying cars" -as in: A vehicle with wheels and wings that needs to pick up speed just like aeroplanes so that the air pressure above the wings are less than the pressure below - creating lift. A more accurate description could simply be a plane-car, or car-plane. Thus "flying-car".
Then there's "flying cars" that use an alternate method of 'lift' to obtain flight. Not necessarily a "car" with wings (like the ^aforementioned example)- but a vehicle somewhat like a hovercraft, or the vehicles in the game 'WipeOut'. So "flying-car" might not be the most accurate name for that type of vehicle. And something that goes to an higher altitude (like the vehicles from the Jetsons) would be appropriate. Call it a "Flying Car", or don't. There won't be any funerals over it.
& I probably got confused on who was stating which definition of a flying car. No harm intended. At this point I can't see what the point of any argument is.
