I have to ask why you would want to log a non-flight. It doesn't count in any meaningful way.

I have had many occasions (some with an instructor on board) where we turned back at the hold. It could be due to weather or the aircraft had gone tech. I never thought of recording it in my logbook if the wheels hadn't lifted.

I think the quotes mentioned
ICAO Annex 1 Definition:

Flight time — aeroplanes. The total time from the moment an aeroplane first moves for the purpose of taking off until the moment it finally comes to rest at the end of the flight.
This implies that a flight should have taken place to log the time. It you turn back, it obviously didn't.
