I have a vagues sense that a lot of people use the term "combat" in a much broader sense, to refer to any activity that involves the rules and the character sheet and dice rolls. These people - severely misguided people - take great pride in often having "several sessions in a row where no combat at all took place".

I'm often in games where no combat takes place for several sessions in a row...or only once a year. When I say combat, I mean combat. Fighting and actual violence. Every session I've ever GM'd or played in involved rules and the character sheet and dice rolls. In GURPS at least, there are a lot of rolls that can happen that don't involve violence. That's why I like GURPS, it's strong support of non-combat activity.
