I guarentee that if you murdered someone with a flintlock pistol by shooting them, arguing that “technically its not a gun” would not help your defense in any reaonable way.
No, but if you get arrested for having one, you absolutely can argue it’s not a gun.
Plenty of legal cases have been decided on technicalities.
You can argue it, but it wont mean much after you shoot someone with it.
Thats what the federation did here. They used a “technically not a cloak” to “cloak” their ships. Technical discussions about whether a “Cloak is a cloak or not” are moot when you cloak with it.
