From the point of view of some tissues that have no significant response to testosterone but to DHT then testosterone is the chemical worth considering to be the prohormone and DHEA is just another part of the chain of which cholesterol is the progenitor.
To some, it makes little good sense to deem DHEA to be a prohormone and cholesterol not to be. Cholesterol is just one step away from pregnenolone under the action of desmolase, or as it's now commonly called, P450scc.
As for "generally considered", that can only refer to minor subsets of humanity, anyway, and I'd suggest that only the educated subsets are worthy of note in this matter.
The olive oil industry is a good tradition. Maybe I should consider it.
