I mean, butter is just churned cream. You can't really fuck that up. You could add more water to the mix, but that would create other issues with consistency, and buttery-ness.

Plus I think to be called butter it needs to have a certain amount of butterfat, I don't know what it is and I can't be arsed to open wiki to find out.

So I'm inclined to believe that to be the case

Cultured vs uncultured makes all the difference

Yeah but this article is about spreadable butter, not normal decent god-fearing butter. So it's already been fucked up by blending in vegetable oil along with whatever stabilsers and other shit they have to use to allow you to mix vegetable oil and butter in the first place.
