I said it would make YOU cry. The remainder of your reply is moot.

I can bake alright. But I don't consider making pie, baking. A blind overworked paraplegic circus seal could make a pie using only its mutant prehensile foreskin. You can't make a cake willy nilly like you can with a pie. Cake requires precise calculations. To bake a cake you need to be both a scientist and a student of the mystic dessert arts.

Scientist? Its the scientific equivalent of making a baking soda and vinegar volcano. Can you read? Then you can make a cake. There is no art in the baking, only the decorating. The COVER-UP.
And the last time I checked they sold cake mixes out of boxes with fake names like Betty Crocker. Gee, that sounds impossible. Where is the pie box? Hmmm? Oh yeah, that's because pie isn't simply the task of mixes A with B and baking. It requires fresh ingredients. Crust must be cut-in correctly, with just the right mix of shortening and butter, then CHILLED before baking for maximum flakiness.
The is no step by step, oz by oz instructions for pie. It is the confluence of the culinary arts. Cake is a math problem, and they give you the answer on the side of the test.
Have your cake, and languish in your inequity. I'll have my pie and relish in nirvana.
For the record, you lost this argument after Cheesecake was revealed to be custard pie. Just an objective analysis of events.
