I'm sorry, but that is just plain silly and trying to trivialize the
problem.
Sorry, it is out of my English again. What is the difference between
"master" and "owner"?
Owner means "a person who owns something : one who has the legal or
rightful title to something", and this is a neutral term. While master
(specifically in the master/slave context) is "an owner especially of a
slave or animal", and this is about the absolute power-relationship that
dehumanized other people (ie slaves), and literal control over life and
death of other humans.
So while a master is a specific type of owner, the term owner itself
does not have the same meaning as master.
