If I order Chinese takeout, but it gets made by a restaurant that doesn't know what Chinese food tastes like, then is that food really Chinese takeout?

If it tastes like great Chinese food (which is a pretty vague concept btw, it's a big country), does it matter?

Useless analogy, especially in the context of a gigantic category of fusion cuisine that is effectively franchised and adapted to local tastes.

If I have never eaten a hamburger but own a McDonald’s franchise, am I making an authentic American hamburger?

If I have never eaten fries before and I buy some frozen ones from Walmart, heat them up, and throw them in the trash, did I make authentic fries?

Obviously the answer is yes and these questions are completely irrelevant to my sentience.

Not exactly. When "intelligence" is like your frozen Walmart fries, the analogy works a bit better. Some people are arguing that yes, you can buy some frozen intelligence from your local (internet) store.
