That idea of  "a million and one definitions for surrealism" is an
interesting point.  I think a lot of folks will think of names like Dali
when surrealism is brought up... yet Dali's paintings are executed with
almost draftsmanship-like precision... is that really something that
demonstrates automatism?  On the other hand, look at Jackson Pollock... the
paintings he was known for show almost no control or aesthetic concern
whatsoever... and yet he is classified as an abstract expressionist.
