Hmmmm... I don't think anyone here has said there is a one-to-one
correspondence between modes of transmission and modes of transmission. As I
did say, we treat the latter as a subset of the former. Different
taxonomies. There is a general correspondence between the two, as
transmissions to be useful have to be coded in ways that the recipient can
perceive.
