This is a good example of semantics based on perception and usage. :) Spin can, mean many things in many contexts, and it would depend on the context.

When you think of the word spin, think of what immediately comes to mind, as a stand alone word it has no definitive meaning, because it means what you think of... a spinning top, something or someone spinning around, spinning wheel, even spinning a yarn...

So this is a classic example of what is described in "Tyranny Of Words", how one given word can have many meanings based on the person's usage, and if that usage isn't as clear to the reader, they can easily be confused. :)

Not criticizing, nor complaining... just making an observation based on what I've been reading. :) That book is fascinating.
