You replaced that with: "Whilst, like anything at all, IP and PP can be compared to each other if one wishes to do so, IP and PP are so significantly different that to attempt to treat them the same under the law and have a workable and enforceable solution is simply not possible."
Which is close enough to meaning the same thing, don't you think?

There, that wasn't so hard. The rest is just a matter of degree. I believe the similarities are such that it is a societal choice whether we treat copyright the same as a physical property and offer eternal copyright. I don't believe we should, but I don't see it as impossible.
I don't really expect you to agree, I was just hoping to show you that this middle ground existed, and I'm standing on it.
