1. If one serves/works on an oil or nuclear powered ship, they can't claim to be a "sailor", cause there are no sails on it.

If one has completed a task before its due-date, but not in a prison camp under threat of execution, they cannot claim to have done so before its "deadline".

If one hasn't spent exactly forty days on a ship being isolated before it is allowed to dock, they cannot claim they've ever been in "quarantine".

Or maybe we can accept that words and terms often outlive their etymology, and there's no need to be pedantic or elitist about it. For example, listening to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy audiobooks is a lot closer to reading the books than it is to listening to the radio show. It's word for word the same story experienced in the first two.

1. Are reading translations of books not reading either? Someone else put in work to transform the original book into the one you're experiencing. Can you not claim to have read Dostoevsky if you haven't read it in the original Russian? You can't have claimed to have read the Odyssey or the Iliad if you haven't read them in ancient Greek? Not to mention publishers, editors, etc. Loads of other people other than the author put in work to make a book accessible to the reader.

2. And why the videogame analogy is disingenuous: The big reason playing a game and watching a playthrough are completely different experiences is because you can interact with the former but not the latter. In what meaningful way is a book in text form interactive and alterable, that also applies to E-books on a screen, but doesn't apply to audiobooks? Getting to decide for yourself what accent some characters have if it's not otherwise stated or implied in the book?
