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?
