No one is deciding anyones working method here...
more to do with classification of said techiniques.

No agenda's.. just a simple observation with regards to one paragragh

Then you haven't done your research. But enough already. You know nothing
about me, my history, my involvement with ceramics for over 35 years. So
don't comment on things that you know nothing about, please.

Whatever.
Unfortunately, you may be the only one who is confused, but I think we have
exhausted this subject. I appreciate your comments and its time to move
forward.
