   Hello, all, and I should like to correct some errors in my previous   
   post.  It should've read:   
      
   Hello, and at the risk of over simplification, if it behaves like a   
   force in the Newtonian sense, then it is a force.  From a cause and   
   effect (e.g., the ability to do work on a mass) standpoint the genesis   
   of the force is irrelevant.  It's akin to the vector (cross) product in   
   3D being a "pseudo" (axial) vector (and not a tensor) as opposed to   
   being a "real" (polar) vector.  The vector product has both magnitude   
   and direction, so it fits that definition of a vector and works quite   
   well in applied math/engineering.  The analogy here is axial vector =   
   fictitious force and polar vector = real force.   
      
   Sorry for the confusion.  Sincerely,
