I just wanted to give you props for actually understanding the point being made.

You don't need to agree with it, but at least you can see where I'm coming from!

I understand your frustration with there not really being an objective argument that would be able to deal with this thought experiment - I myself argued your case for a long time!

For all practical uses, the distinction is mostly pointless anyways, but it does make for some fun philosophical thought experiments! :-)
