I forgot to mention that my posted article does, in fact, give many
specific examples of real manufacturing, building cranes and such. I
do not recall that it referenced what we formerly called something
else, like even some parts of food processing, for instance. Perhaps
making sausage is now manufacturing food. Considering the ingredients
in breakfast cereal and many canned goods, naming the process
manufacturing is valid.
