I don't see the point in arguing semantics.

Back to the OT.

A visitor uses their browser's bookmark/favorite to access your site, thus sending no referrer. You block empty referrers in you anti-hotlinking code (in some futile effort to stop Google from using your images) and the result is this visitor sees you site sans images, or some swapped image you've chosen. Who's the real looser here?

"cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind.
