However trying to say now that "technically the colony never existed" is like saying someone is a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you aren't. Just my thoughts.

I disagree. I think that finding out about those interested in BECOMING a colony is totally different than actually naming a full colony...
Your point above about either being a little bit pregnant is a bit skewed... If we use your logic, then those who PLEDGE should be able to call themselves full members of XYZ. Right? They have started the process, so it's one or the other...
But, we all know that even though you pledge or become a New Member, it DOES NOT mean you are a fully initiated member. So, just because interest in a colony is pursued does not mean an actual colony was created. I think it's like visiting a car lot. You can take it for a test drive to see if it will fit your needs, but that doesn't mean you are bound to purchase the car. (Crude analogy, I know.)
