That's why I said it depends on what your definition is. You want to define these devices in terms of how they are made. Most people will define them in terms of how they are used.

There's a difference between a battleship and a rowboat, y'know, even if they are both vessels. But of course, a Dope Rule will regard them as the same thing.
