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.

In the flight sim community, cherry pick has always meant engaging someone else that is otherwise already engaged.  The term is like vulch, which in the original meaning is shooting down someone taking off or landing but now apparently has encompassed being shot down while on the deck at low speed, regardless if the target is taking off or landing.

 pick is easily definable, the definition is being debated.

This.

What is your point? I said it is easily definable, that fact is just as true as this one ---> people normally have an aversion to doing it the easy way.

Agreed. But I would put the vulch example in the cherry pick category. Anything that is virtually helpless as a result of position, damages, overwhelming odds or engagement logically fits the description of "a cherry waiting to be picked."
