Tilt is tilt regardless of how you get there, good reasons or bad.

I think this isn't so black and white and that there are gradients of tilt.
Everyone's aware of the "I can't believe that SOB just hit his 2 outer in a 23BB pot!" tilt. It's pretty easy to recognize, and it may well be that a 20 minute break is a good remedy for this one.
But the "I'm tired of villian raising me off my blinds. I'll 3-bet him with this K8o and show him I can't be pushed around" and the "Laggyguy is raising me again? How many times is he going to catch lucky and beat my TPTK? Well, I'm not 3-betting this time. I'll just call him down and see the SD" tilts are much harder to recognize and generally can be fixed with less than a 20 minute timeout.
Feeney's book deals with the latter gradient of tilt.
