There is a very real legal and practical difference between paying for 100G of water, and paying for the right to buy 100G per week for the next N years.

Both have a price in the American west, and they did not pay the latter price.

Nobody is arguing otherwise, including the people interviewed in the article.

The claim was that these people didn't pay. That claim turns out to be incorrect.

That's literally not what people were claiming. This is a lie.
