That's less important of a distinction when you consider that Python has a JIT implementation too (PyPy).

No, it's still an important distinction, because there's a lot less to JIT in Python, compared to Java, which is why I specifically mentioned that bit.

And to prove my point just bench PyPy against Java on any given machine of your choice, and then come back to tell me if the distinction is important enough.
