Now you're the one using a nonstandard definition of ORM. Here is how Wikipedia defines it:

    Object-relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping)
    in computer science is a programming technique for
    converting data between incompatible type systems
    in object-oriented programming languages.

"is a technique for" does not mean "includes every technique for".

Spearfishing is a technique for catching fish, but not every technique for catching fish is spearfishing.
