You can indeed create milk without requiring a cow.

True enough. But not from an oat.

So if we would create milk in a lab, which is chemically identical to e.g. cow's milk, but without any udder secretion involved, that wouldn't be milk?

What is milk if not just fatty water with a couple of nutrients?

Our concept of "milk" goes beyond mere mammary gland secretes.
