Russ;
Prior to looking it up in the dictionary, I would have agreed 100%.........
But the dictionary, doesn't necessarilly agree. However. it's definition does not go as indepth, as I would have thought, either.
Then, I did not look up "induction" either, to get a perspective on the proper use of that particular word, as compared to the former.
Induction, as I always understood it, was passed even through properly insolated wire, by magnetic fields, and it relys on proximity to a potential receiver for the curent, such as a metal rod, or plate.
A transformer, I believe works, through induction.
Both in the use of it in the HHO generators, or in the passage of electric, as in lightning, capacitance plays into it.
And capacitance is probably one of the least understood principals of electric, in the minds of the common man.
People are very easily confused by electric, because it usually is not seen!
Thus, to grasp some understanding of it, folks try to compare it to either a road map, or the flow of a river. Induction, however defys that understanding, of it!
