Until a few weeks ago, I thought that I was stupid for not being able
to state in my own words the "differences" "between" an application,
background application, daemon, LSUI-whatever; after having read
several articles on them. Then I found this "definition" in the
ProcessSerialNumber documentation:
"applications (defined as things which can appear in the Dock that are
not documents and are launched by the Finder or Dock)".
Since I read that, I don't think I'm stupid any more. At best, this
space is multi-dimensional and depends on the context. For
practitioners, I'd say: "As long as you can make it work, you can call
it whatever you want to."
