I respectfully disagree with your viewpoint. There's a difference between a physical transformation and a chemical one.


 
Taking upon your butter analogy, if you let a lump of butter melt at ambient temperature, it is still butter, albeit in liquefied form.
 
However, if you heat it up your butter in a saucepan long enough to let the moisture evaporate, you're left with butterfat, which isn't the same thing as whole butter.
