Yes, that's an entity in itself. But it is *not* an entity of the type it contains. A table containing a list of products is not a product. It is a set of *products*. Ergo, the set is called *products*. Jeeze. If anybody's mangling syntax it's not me. There was a good reason why I emphasised the word "collection". You appear to have missed the point.
