You've changed its color or finish, not the motor itself.

Isn't that what I just said???  I "changed" it...be it it's color, odor or taste, it has changed isn't it???  My point was that it has definitely changed, but not "changed out"

So, by your definition, what do I have to do to "change" the starter motor???  Re-orient it's molecular structure.  If I alter an object to a state that it did not exist in before isn't that changing it???  Granted I've changed the color, but isn't that "changing" it???

Sorry for the off-Friday rant.  ;-)
