I don't believe my point has changed at all; sorry if I haven't been clear enough, but I've been asserting from the beginning that there's no appreciable difference. ("analagous situations" from my first post.) Further, I wasn't asking for a difference, I was asserting that you had failed to demonstrate one. Finally, I completely disagree with the point in your final article, which is the absolute opposite of my point. Let's take a real-world example; you can tell me whether it is an example of a healthy process or a not: A handful of authors are banned entirely from submitting articles to a widely known, widely respected, online repository. (They were submitting topical articles, not random junk.)
