Some nosey buggers don't want to know if it's pencil or wordprocessor, they want to know pencil colour, soft/hard-ness, brand and version of wordprocessor etc. It doesn't matter. These people are looking for part of the 'formula' that makes Ae's or whoever's music. It's pointless.. they change the formula with every track - that's what makes them interesting.
