Sorry, but I find that response rather amusing. All of this game can be broken down into math, which is logical. Yet when to leave the table, you give an emotional reason. No logic. I' m sorry if not many appreciate the irony in that.
daven and iopq had a huge discussion about this in the irc, and it was actually kinda interesting. but really it's just kind of an issue of semantics and isn't really a practical discussion.
if you are a robot and don't have any feelings or emotions and are capable of playing poker and making every poker decision ever solely on logic, then by all means never make a non-logical decision like quit because you're starting to tilt (because as iopq argues, this technically CAN be defined as tilt).
however, if you are human and sometimes find yourself angry at the poker gods and cannot find the fold button with AK on an A-high board against a super nit, then you have only the choice between two emotionally-based decisions: 1) tilt your money away by going all in with AK in bad spots and make similarly bad decisions or 2) quit and keep your money. one is obviously more EV than the other.
of course it's IDEAL to never make a tilted decision, and certainly you can define quitting because you're tilted in itself a tilted decision, but if your decision comes down to two emotionally based decisions (play tilted or quit), then LDFO chose the one that's more EV
