Calm down everyone! In this case, though no doubt someone can find a dictionary that disagrees with me, a list could usually be said to be synonymous with a 'single column table' and conversely, a data table is a set of parallel lists - they are both special cases of each other. On that basis, I think we need to look a little deeper to decide what is right and wrong - perhaps someone could point out some reasons why one treatment is more accessible than the other?
