There is however some degree of difference - the people who fly the
plane have been extensively trained to fly that particular model, and
might make a rather poor showing on ornithopters (do any fly?),
autogyros, helicopters, and dirigibles. Which (were they required to
attempt such tasks) might make their customers very unhappy, and
unwilling to fork up cash.

Say 'computer' to someone, and you're supposed to know why their latest
bout with PnP was unsuccessful. After all, everyone has a computer
nowadays, so it must all be very straightforward really. Mustn't it?
