You, and the article, assert that the negative connotation of the smell is manufactured. By "smells like a horse", I mean "considers the smell to be bad". If "people smell like horses" is illegitimate because it is manufactured, then why isn't "I am unsatisfied with this wide array of beverages that are not simultaneously sugary and carbonated"? Either both are illegitimate because they are "manufactured", or both are legitimate. Did you read my comment?
