Quick questions: javelins with dueling style and natural weapon proficiency

[ThorOdinson]

Using the following definition of the word "throw," please answer the question that comes immediately thereafter.



If a character throws a melee weapon with the thrown tag at a creature with the intent of causing injury to that creature, is the character making an attack?

Are we agreed that that exact meaning of throw is the definition we will use going forward in this discussion and there will be no further equivocation about "throw". For a "throw" to indeed be considered a "throw", the object that the character throws must leave the hand and travel a distance, correct?
