I don't think MMY ever referred to witnessing *as* CC, it was always used in the context of an indication of the growth towards CC and not the culmination of CC. Though CC contains witnessing, it is far more and he used to say it is a milestone on the path of evolution. MMY used CC to describe Self Realization, in classical Yoga CC is defined as what MMY would call Unity, other than that things remain the same.
