I mostly agree. What matters is how the ticket is written. For example, I think there are (or used to be) some AA flights which flew LHR (or maybe it was JFK)-LAX-HNL. It was one flight number, but with a change of planes at LAX. I don't think that that is considered a transit or connection for this purpose. I believe that it's the departure of last flight identified on the ticket that is the determining one. One flight number (and thus one coupon) counts as one flight even if there's an equipment change en route.
