Throwing a stone is analogous to sending an object. Waving your hands is sending a signal. The latter also uses an object (your hands) and some sort of travel too. But it's a different way to send information. So it's up to you to draw the border where you see an object traveling to transport the message. I'd say that in most cases you will see some object carrying the information. But most of the times you are more interested in the informal idea behind it. Practically that means you will use Send Event in most cases. Only if the object itself is of great importance you'll show that using sendObjectAction.
