Wow.
I address the argument that "IP is the same as PP and should be treated the same" by trying to show how IP and PP are actually quite different and therefore it would be unworkable to treat them the same.
You respond repeatedly
suggesting and implying (if not specifically stating) that I am wrong and being extreme.
Now it seems you actually agree they should be treated differently but you just don't like my arguments trying to explain how they are actually different.
Holy F***ing cow this has been an entire waste of time!
Why didn't you simply state "does it really matter if they are the same? There are useful reasons to treat them differently." To which I would have replied "totally agree with you, I was just trying to show they are not the same and it is non-nonsensical to treat them the same because of that."
And for the record, perhaps one of those genuinely useful reasons for treating them differently is because treating them the same would cause complications and result in an unworkable and not very positive outcome for all concerned! Which I have stated numerous times.
