I don't think I agree with this summary - 'Crockett' design still uses
tablet manipulation.  The hole is just a "transparent thread" that needs
to be brought to the top at the correct time.  Or perhaps I misunderstand
what you intended to convey?

Given that the 'Scandanavian' method doesn't rely on the unthreaded holes
at all, I agree that a different term is certainly required.  I'm happy
with the 'Crockett' technique keeping the label of missed-hole.  Does
anyone see any reason it shouldn't?  The 'Scandanavian' method seems to
fall into the same category as octagonal and hexagonal tablet weaves. 
It's a two hole tablet, essentially.
