...so for the inspector to put it the way he did would be akin to...oh, I don't know, perhaps to asking McEwan whether his laptop computer used integrated circuits or vacuum tubes.
And, of course, he should answer "both" if such a question is posed to him. After all, the display does use a cold-cathode vacuum tube to generate the light in the display, AKA a fluorescent bulb.
HTH.
