I think we're all saying pretty much the same thing about the yellow light, so I hope we're not getting hung up on semantics. I will say this, though; I will speed up a bit (not a lot) if I catch a yellow in a series of lights, to avoid catching the next one or two yellow.
And then on the other hand, I don't think we need to be encouraging anyone to breeze through yellows, do we? It's pretty much standard proceedure; we do it (if we can do it safely) to save momentum and improve our fuel economy, and Joe Public does it because he's late for work.
