Agreed, when I think honeypot I don't think of a technology rather I
think of a concept whose scope incorporates the use of many given
technologies implemented in various ways. How about:

'A honeypot is an information related concept that incorporates one or
more systems or technologies. When applied as a whole these systems
present an artificial or deceptive front (facade).'
