This reminded me of all the arguments that arose when longarms started gaining in popularity, and people refused to call quilts that had been longarmed "quilts". I have a male family member who likes working with wood. He made a small table that sits in my mom's entryway. I made my mom a quilt (she loved) that had been quilted on my longarm. When she showed it off to him, he said that it wasn't a quilt because it had been done by machine. Only quilts that had been quilted by hand were *real* quilts, like his mama used to make. I'm sure you all can see where this is going. I told him his table wasn't a table because he'd used a table saw, a router, and a sander to make it. Why didn't he cut the wood by hand, sand it by hand, etc. That shut him up.
