Would you consider making a sandwich to be "cooking?"

Personally, I don't* but I was curious what others think.
*some sandwiches excluded like a Cubano or chicken parm; those do require cooking.

IMO, assembling a sandwich from ready-to-eat ingredients without using a stove, oven, microwave, etc. is meal prep, not cooking. If you roast, saute, toast, smoke, or even zap any part of it, now you're cookin'. (Though zapping might just be reheating something that was cooked previously. Ugh, this is more complicated than it should be. English can be frustrating.)
Personally I'd define cooking as something that creates an irreversible physical or chemical change using heat.
