But...you CLEARLY stated "They should not be compared..." and I certainly
didn't "miss" that!

How would you "know your medium of choice" without comparing them?  Random
guess?  Someone else told you what your choice should be?  Use the force?

But in this case, sometimes the container makes a big difference.  You can't
keep oil in a paper envelope.

I use both as well my self, but one works better, for me, in some
situations, and the other in other situations, and without spending some
time using both, and comparing my results, I would not have been able to
conclude what works better for me.  Simple as that.  You ALWAYS have to
compare things...day in and day out, or you'd simply eat cereal 3 meals a
day!
