    Baking doesn’t cook down the ingredients and claim it’s heating them up.

        You could call any machine anything, yet it doesn’t become the thing.

          Yes it does. A name inherently defines the characteristics of whatever it’s being used for. For example, the names your mother calls me during sex defines the intrinsic nature of our relationship, that is me being the oppressive dom authority figure (because I’m a tankie), and her the submissive proletariat.
