Aw, c'mon, Arch. Let's not start that analogy again. That's not a fair comparison.
The only reason some people like calling some of the $200 prizes Silver Strikes is because they are similar looking and have the possibility of being one. The TV doesn't come close to looking like a silver strike, so no matter how it was won, it would never be called one.
So, what you are saying is, if they had a very large Silver Strike machine, and the smaller prizes were Silver Strikes, but if you hit the red, white, and blue 7's and out plops a TV....NOW that's a SILVER STRIKE!!
Your point, however, is well taken....This is just my humble opinion.
