The argument is *because* it confuses people. You're right in your statement 
that signals are not slots and that the code actually works. But people keep 
asking about the thread affinity of the sender class (the QThread-derived one), 
which is irrelevant in the context.

It's not a matter of "works". It's a matter of "confusing".
