<p>Well, <a href="http://www.m-w.com">m-w</a> <a href="http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=parse&x=0&y=0">defines parse</a> as follows:
<ol>
<li>
<ol>
<li>: to resolve (as a sentence) into component parts of speech and describe them grammatically</li>
<li>: to describe grammatically by stating the part of speech and explaining the inflection and syntactical relationships</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li> : to examine in a minute way : analyze critically [parses appellate court opinions]</li>
</ol>
So to use 'parse' as the verb that means 'look at what actions are happening and respond in a certain manner' is being generous.</p>
<p>I think this is a case where we'll have to agree to disagree.</p>
