I like you post a lot, Mark!
once we give up defining hard boarders (at least because we cannot force 
anyway to use or not use the term anyway) we can also include organic 
instruments as typical for livelooping. synth player rather tend to use 
sequencers and not program them in real time, its a different approach to 
music all together - but thats just a tendency, not a rule or definition!
