Reverse engineering to me is: to deduce enough
information to
duplicate the device, including manufacturing processes.
Pretty close, though I'd say that it's also fair to use it to refer to
learning enough to duplicate only some aspects of the device.
However, none of this says that you must then proceed to actually
construct such a duplicate (or partial duplicate), which is really what
I was taking exception to in the original definition.
