DOES IT MATTER? No of course it doesn't MATTER.When you try to provide computer support, you'll often find someone is trying to solve the wrong problem. When you know what they're trying to do, you are then in a position to help them. So, yes it does matter.Trust me. I'm NOT asking the wrong question, neither am I trying to solve the wrong problem.
