As usual mountains are being made from moles.

A snapshot can be a photo taken "on the fly", without much thought to
technical encomberances.
A snapshot can be the portrayal of an intense, elaborate, or complex scene.
A snapshot can be taken with a Diana or with a Leica.
A snapshot can be a work of art or a simple image.
A snapshot is not a compliment nor an insult.
A "snapshot" is nothing more than a "slice" of time transformed into an
image for the pleasure of the photographer, viewer, and posterity.
A snapshot is not worth getting upset over.
