If your friend moves into your guest room and receives mail there, etc. they are not homeless. If they sleep on your couch 5 days a month then circulate among 6 friends doing the same, they are.

Windows95 still had failures of UI design, and those weren't fixed until XP.

Competition in a duopoly looks very different from competition with a large number of suppliers.

The first dictionaries appeared in the early 1800s. The internet wasn't the driving force.

I can buy a print of the Mona Lisa at the museum gift shop. Or hire an artist to paint a duplicate that only a few experts with specialized tools can tell apart from the original.

Works of art are still going up in value.
