But, the hundreds of others she'd previously made are different? Or what about the fact that Kathy Lare was trained to make kilts in Scotland but a Scot (by invitation at that.) Read her awards and qualifications here. Can you still say the likes of her deserve to be lumped with the crap peddlers??

And I couldn't agree more that the Whiskey/Whisky/Cheese analogies are "apples and oranges." Bourbon and Scotch are made from different ingredients. So, of course you would never call one the other or vice versa.
Spot on.
