Just because you can, doesn't mean you should

Cups. There are different sized cups. Some cups are small. Some are big. Some big cups have handles, or maybe that is a mug. The big (handle mugs) cups can sometimes hold soup, or stew, or cereal. When they hold these things the cups are acting like bowls. But they aren't bowls, they are cups.

And sure, the cup has some of the basic structure of a bowl. But what of the handle? When the cup pretends to be a bowl, it ignores its own unique structure. So the soup, and the stew and the cereal aren't bad, but the cup trying to act like a bowl is bad.

I have a handle.
