Perhaps a logical definition of "tabular data" is "data whose meaning is
defined by its position in a set of rows and columns"?
[only makes sense in monospaced font]
| BEST ACTOR | BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR |
------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2007 | Forest Whitaker | Alan Arkin |
------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2006 | Philip Seymour Hoffman | George Clooney |
---------------------------------------------------------
In order to answer the question "who got Best Supporting Actor in 2006?"
you have to use the table's rows and columns to locate the answer by its
coordinates, so to speak.
