Whether you aim at a flying target or point at it, you will likely miss if you are talking about a target moving laterally to you. It doesn't matter if you are using a rifle, shotgun, or pistol. This isn't a shotgun issue, but a moving target issue.

Hmmm. Tell that to the guys shooting Trap and Skeet and running 25-50-75-100 straight.....at least some of those targets are moving laterally.
About the differences of opinion regarding terminology....it was an easy argument to get into. Nothing in the OP referred to a HD situation using a buckshot load.....the qualifications/clarifications came later on.
I do agree that there are many folk who believe that all one has to do is face in the general direction of a target and the gun will do all the work. There are plenty shooters and non-shooters both, who do not understand shotguns or shotgunning as well as they should. The statement quoted, no offense meant, is an example as is the earlier comment about shotguns being primarily tools for HD. Maybe for some folk but as a generality, not so.
