There is no mention anywhere [in the FAR §1.1 definition of Flight time] whether or not there is an intention of flying
Correct.
once an aircraft is capable of flight under its own power, until the time that it is no longer capable of flight under its own power, it is to be considered to be 'in flight time'.
There is no mention of "capable of flight under its own power".

The inane debate over the semantics of definitions can continue
There's a risk of that (interspersed with such vile descriptions of the deceased pilot as 'a candidate for the Darwin Award', 'one less in the gene pool', 'this jerk') although, as alouette3 so rightly says ....
I think this discussion has lost its way somewhere and we are now just going around in circles.
