      I don’t know, I don’t like throwing dictionary definitions around in arguments as if they carried any authority, but in this case those two phrases mean very different things. I genuinely misunderstood what the OP meant. I think if people don’t understand what you mean it’s not really nitpicking.

        It’s not a well-phrased question even beyond your mention of form vs piece. My brain kept freezing up the second half because one word didn’t make sense following another. I had to turn my mind off and unfocus to read the title as a whole to understand what they were asking.
