So is it the types of hardware that could also be software, or is hardware != software axiomatic for you? I'm not sure defining a program as not a program is necessarily absurd; I can think of "programs" for digital computers that I would label as a "program" (e.g., doing multiplication on an abacus), so I wouldn't be surprised if it were true also for analogue computers.
