Ok, someone correct me if I have it wrong..
I see "pinned hinges" being used where people mean "pin hinges" or "hinge pins".
"Pinned hinges" can include CA hinges, where someone has elected to insert a metal or wooden "pin" through the wood to hold the material in place.
Often toothpics are used.
"Pin hinges" or "hinge points", are dowl like ( usually plasitic ) hinges that are inserted into holes drilled into the control surface and wing.
The two are NOT the same thing.
I prefer PIN hinges, over PINNED hinges.
I assumed (I know
) he was refering to something like this:

Or this:

both of which pivot on a pin.
Although you are correct, a pinned hinge does make me think any hinge that is installed and then pinned to keep it from ever coming loose.
