So I'm left with the fact that my point is only that IP and PP are not the same and as such I believe they should not be treated the same. You have repeatedly responded in a way that suggests (though does not explicitly state) that you disagree with my point.
So what is it you are actually disagreeing with, if you don't mind my asking?

In my view, the reasons you give for IP and PP not being the same (physicality, builder analogies and so on), are distractions. As such they clutter the debate unnecessarily, and obscure the real reasons why we should consider treating IP differently - not because we must, but because there are genuinely useful reasons for doing so.
