Spreadsheets are data bases in the strict definition of the word...
A structured set of data held in a computer, especially one that is accessible in various ways
Most of the techies that argue with this think "database" implies database management system
If a DBMS is in scope then a spreadsheet would not qualify
It does in the strictest definitions of database
Some stupid shit to argue about though
Like trekkies that count or don't count the pilot as the first episode then argue about the total number of episodes
Who fucking cares?
