That will not deter the fact that you will need one to use the product  
of your photography, that's not like throwing stones in a pond where  
you just need three things all of them usually free.

I don't want get into running in circles, I understand your reasoning,  
and makes sense, but I do look at it as chained happenings, the cost  
may be filed under A, B or C, but if all the three requires a facility  
to work, and you do all the three, to me is clear that it's a split  
charge no matter what is the primary task.
