Is anyone else struggling to justify to themselves why the fact that is not a cup, but a glass, despite it sharing all the qualities of what you would call a cup were it made of any other material? And doing this simply to assuage the cognitive dissonance of seeing something you have never and would never call a cup, being called one - despite having no tangible reason why it isn't one?
