There's a bit of a debate over the definition of falsetto. It's either synonymous with "head voice," or it's a breathy, disconnected head voice sound. As long as it's connected, with a good singing, you might not even be able to tell where it begins. It's like the difference between Journey and the Bee Gees.

Really?
I'm not sure where the debate would lie; falsetto is a clearly identifiable physical voice register that, without deliberate training, sounds quite different from the usual 'modal' voice. Futhermore, there is generally no 'in-between'--it's either one register or the other. Some singers can switch between the two without audible seams, but it's very difficult.
When I sing a scale in head voice starting on a high note going down on low/mid volume, it seems to be quite seemless. I suppose on higher volumes, its easier to notice for me personally.
