   That's what I said, Doofus.

   Nonsense. It's like the difference between describing a house as   
   "four walls and a roof", or "a place that shelters people". Or a car   
   as "a box with four wheels", or "something that gets you from here   
   to there". In this context (REPLYING TO THE POSTER, SEE ABOVE), my   
   description is better.
