[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5453876, member: 15538"] Your analogy is flawed. How about this scenario? Bob goes to his favorite pie restaurant and orders a Boston cream pie. He gets something entirely unlike what he is used to, and rather than being one of the most delicious Boston cream pies he's ever had, that brought him back to Boston cream pie-eating after a decade long hiatus of eating only cherry pies and the occasional eclair, it is now a fairly serviceable example of a pie that departs so far from what he expected that it does not fulfill his Bostom cream pie craving. In short, Bob is going to have to find a new pie restaurant. Fortunately, a local bakery that used to supply the filling, has decided to open their own restaurant and bake pies in the style he is used to. I think it would be unkind to say Bob's view of a Boston cream pie is unreasonably narrow. He was perfectly content with the pie available to him; it was the pie maker who suddenly decided the pie was insufficient to fulfill its pastry destiny. [/QUOTE]
