    They can disagree, but if I take your recipe and then change it, no matter how much, my starting point is still based on your recipe….

      Absolutely, it looks like it’s mostly managing expectations that come with calling something arch based.

      In your recipe analogy, calling your new cookie recipe, which you based on your granny’s chocolate chip cookie recipe, “chocolate chip cookie based”, but ending up with a raisin cookie (you removed the chocolate chips) would be false advertising, even if technically true in the way you describe.
