An event implies a measurable quantity - a simple or complex data structure representing one or more empirically determined parameters. That is, the report of an event conveys dependent variable(s) expressed on a grid of independent variable(s), typically time. I'm not defending the wording, but surely they are using the term "event" as it is sometimes used in computer science, i.e., notification of something of interest that could be acted upon. This may be sloppy usage, but it is commonplace. -ch
