IP addresses are not globally unique. IP:PORT is not globally unique. Kit Harrington played Jon Snow in the HBO series Game of Thrones. These are just cold, hard, facts.
Looking for real feedback here, as I don't really want to give anyone panic attacks, but what would you suggest I say to posts attempting to correct me saying I'm wrong when I know they're factually incorrect? Just accept the falsehoods?

If you find a good answer to this please let me know.
I've read books on this topic, and they say to come at the problem from an empathetic view point asking questions and trying to understand the person, however I suggest that you simply dont waste your time, you can't fix peoples broken understanding.
A lot of people (Americans especially, I guess due to their Silicon Valley) think you need to work in tech to work in tech. There are tech jobs in every industry, both IT and other types of tech. I recommend not being in the tech industry - working for a manufacturer with embedded systems or doing IT for a finance company is a lot better for your mental health.
I’ve been working in tech for 20 years, am coming off a year-long sabbatical, and for the past couple of months have been struggling with the feeling that the joy is gone and I should consider a radical career change.
Reading (what feels to me as) the aggressive pedantry of parent commenter in this thread is giving me a straight up anxiety attack. I’m not sure I have it in me anymore to be in meetings with people whose brains work this way.
Is it like this in every industry or is it more concentrated in tech? I don’t know who’s going to see this, but if you have any perspective or feedback you’d like to share, I’m all ears.
