You are right. It is an unimportant distinction. Thanks for the interesting links.

I’m sure the Italians have discovered most of the possible ways to improve their local food. I am not doing justice to the Italian sushi guy. Very few people thought his take on things was an authentic thing going back generations, including other Italian food experts and restauranteurs. Anchovies and squid have been antipasto for years. Italian risotto, fish and whatever wasabi equivalent which was concocted - maybe not so much. Even the discoverer admitted “most people think this is bull\*\*\*\*”.
