Because they’re two entirely different activities, even if some of the incidentals are the same? Because one is my favorite activity and I dislike the other?
Golly, first people say that listening to audiobooks (which I love) is the same as reading (which it isn’t). And now watching tv is the same as reading?

I don’t know why people feel superior about personal entertainment preferences, either. However, I think there’s an assumption that people who say they don’t watch tv are bragging, which is why I’m always careful to add that I never watch television because I don’t like it, and not because I think there’s anything wrong with it. Oddly enough, one thing that keeps me from watching any television at all is that there are too many excellent choices. I wouldn’t know how to choose.
