I don't want to get into a semantic quibble, since it's really besides the point, but to quote your link:
> You can use cocoa powder to make the cake rather than chocolate - it's a bit of a cheat, but nobody notices the difference.
If you're trying to produce cheap cakes and your competition also uses cocoa powder, it's a mark of intelligence to follow along. It's still a bit of a cheat, though.

If you don't accept this reasoning, maybe I'm wrong and the word is unfairly used here. But please at least accept that I meant no insult, regardless of whether I have to vocabulary to express myself correctly.

- Veedrac 11y agoAs I said, > I don't want to get into a semantic quibble If you'd rather the semantic quibble than actually address the concerns I've raised, on your head be it. And I see no reason to trust your statements of my opinion over my own knowledge of my opinion.
