My point was that paper letter was wireless too. Wireless, same as contactless, is a name we use for particular technology.

I totally agree that it could have been Apple Pay, Paypal Pay or whatever else Bingus Pay, but it definitely was not contactless, because there was no NFC radio communication involved.

And my point was that "contactless" has more than one definition depending on context. I'm not going to respond anymore as I've been warned about arguing semantics on here.

You've completely ignored my argument that it was wireless too.

That's not relevant to the point I was making.
