    Ah, yes...the eternal sales pitch. Nevertheless, "a rose is a rose
    is a rose"; or, to put it more crassly, "no matter how you slice it,
    it's still bologna".  

    Neoprene is a synthetic rubber, and it has the same relationship to
    latex(a natural product) as CZ has to a diamond. If the rubber cords
    are rubber, call them rubber.  If they're neoprene, call them
    neoprene (or, if you wish, synthetic rubber). But neoprene is not a
    fancy name for rubber.
