Forum:Tailor of the Fickle on Tributed Monsters.

Hi. I was reading the page on tributing and one line struck me. It went: "When Tributing for a card effect, the Tribute(s) are considered Costs, which means players cannot respond to the Tributes with card effects, since paying a Cost has no Spell Speed. This also means that Tributes occur before the activation of the effect that they are being Tributed for. " So, does this mean I would be unable to activate Tailor of the Fickle and switch an equip card to another monster before it is destroyed? I don't think I can, but I'm just wondering in case the situation comes up.
