well... the word bokeh is really just a synonym for blur isn't it?!

I guess there's some differentiation in photo-lingualism where the same "amount" of blur can still create a different "quality" of bokeh because of differing lens qualities such as diaphragm shape and aberration.

But technically any out-of-focus-blur is bokeh, whether it looks good or not, then it's just either ugly bokeh or nice looking bokeh... but that's really just a matter of taste anyway.

i never thought about it that way. fraenk, you are a native speaker, how can I argue with you... i d k, maybe I am wrong, and confused now... but I still probably be thinking on about it like this, in a wrong way :/

you nailed it. I didnt say, 'different amount', I'd say, a different quality of bokeh, but we are there.

returning back to the red leaves of your pic, imo one should better not say: look at this bokeh! - cause it was just a blur of non-specific and amazing shape, it naturally lead us to results like this: I came in... and didnt noticed one! and was claiming, give me bokeh as promised :P

maybe it was me, who mis-used the word 'technically', and you are correct: technically it is bokeh, but... often not the stuff like this, is awarded with this epithet. dixi !
