Having had a couple of years of fluid mechanics, I have to ask you, "What's
the definition of a fluid?"  Air is indeed a fluid as is water.  Air is not
a liquid, but that is an entirely different argument.

Maybe it's just symantics, but we're getting off on a tangent here akin to a
square being a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares...
