A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.
Regarding viewtopic.php?f=59&t=60498
It doesn't say 'card' either, hence the confusion.
Venerable Master, Farmlands and Matsu Benika all have abilities that can produce something that is neither a token or a card (unlike Hida Dayu's followers who have the 'card' trait), what should these be treated as?

This is from the post you linked to in your original question: "In Samurai Edition, follower, item or personality tokens cannot be created; cards are created instead." (Emphasis added.)
"Personality," "Follower," and "Item" are all Card Types.
IE - they are Types of Cards.
Anything that is a Personality, Follower, or Item is a Card.
I suppose we could post a Venn Diagram somewhere if you think that'd really help.
