Jim, You've missed a lot. The concept of power is _developed_ in Nitzan and Bichler's paper. There's nothing vacuous about it. The "clarifying" distinctions that you suggest are precisely what they point out to be misleading. I think there are grounds to question the comprehensiveness of their concept of power but they are not the grounds you suggest.
