I have always felt uncomfortable with the black and white nature of reconnection/touch and go. I always felt they are one of the same thing. As they reconnect (touch and go) with us they move away to regroup and rethink even if OW/OM is still in the background (that will cause some 2x4's). As they get happier with the reconnecion big decisions are made regarding the affair and then touch and go's become reconnection. Hope that makes sense!
Your post also makes sense and clarifies the situation even more.
