I'm not suggesting you can't produce pretty close up pictures at less than 1:1. What I am saying is that the word "macro" when referring to photography means recording something at lifesize or greater. Macro is a technical term abused by marketing folk when they put it on lenses that don't go to 1:1.
There's a bit on Wiki saying that in marketing speak macro means that in a 6x4 print the subject will be bigger than it was in real life. Load of rubbish IMO....macro means recording at lifesize or greater not printing at lifesize or greater.
I accept the technical distinction you make. But I'm not entirely convinced it's a useful or meaningful distinction in the context of a viewing audience in an exhibition room.
