I agree with your assessment, wsieber.
The use of the word "drive" implies an engine.
But the nature of the engine is incidental to the act of being driven.
It follows that "drive" "drove" and "driven" can be used as nubilous scientific jargon, and are; as in "global warming".
For example, the "driving" forth of a golf ball involves a multitude of complex mechanisms that are better or worsely effected by a most poorly understood engine.
