Well at least ink knows what he is (chump).

The reason you are wrong about this is you are unable to define the term in a non-subjective way. You are using the term 'pick' as if there were a victim involved, but at the same time denying there is a victim (as if 'picking' were okay). Your wrong. Anytime you want to shoot someone in the MA is okay. Thats what the MA is. If you dont then someone else will.

As to correcting me about how I think about you by taking me into the DA: your macho horse hockey doesnt wash and never will. You are right-brained (emotional) and I am left-brained (logical). Logic always trumps emotion.

I always considered a pick to be attacking an enemy who is currently engaged and does not have the ability or awareness to counteract your attack to any meaningful degree.

That has always been the definition of a "pick" (a.k.a. "cherry pick").

The testosterone level in this thread is outstanding.  To be fair you guys are arguing opinions..  In my eyes a pick is when someone gets killed while engaged with someone else.  Again, that is my opinion.  In a sense you both are correct..

I'm gonna say that too many people use the work pick.

9/10 times, if one dies, it could have been avoided.

You engaged more fighters than you could handle at once
You lost too much E and couldn't properly disengage
You stayed long  beyond the time you should have disengaged
You got target fixated and didn't check your six, or expected others to do it
You got target fixated and didn't care what was on your six
You overestimated your ability to finish off the guy in front of you before the guy on your six could finish you
You underestimated the E state of the con you were saddled up upon and he hung you up like a picture for his wingman

In the MA, one should never-ever assume that you are going to be left alone in a 1 vs 1

There is no opinion to it, pick is easily definable, the definition is being debated. And the original term cherry pick easily covers more than just your definition.

How? An opinion is something that is based on "belief" not fact. A definition is fact, you can't change it because it doesnt agree with your opinion.

I don't know where the term cherry pick originated but even if there is no official definition of it, it will have a definition based on what the majority decide it should be, not what the minority opinion is.
