Oookay... you've lost me. What exactly is the point of this discussion? Because it's starting to sound like splitting hairs to me.

- yeahdude 11y agoYou said the difference is academic. No, it requires significant changes to the legal framework of marriage. Consider the following programs: 1) A program that allows a PC to talk to a Mac 2) A program that allows a PC to talk to a PC. 3) A program that allows a Mac to talk to a Mac. 4) A program that allows any number of Macs and PCs to talk to each other all at once. The point is that given 1, it's pretty straightforward to write 2 and 3. 4 is a just a lot harder to get right. I'm not saying it can't be done, but the difference in the patches required to support 2, 3, and 4 is not academic. Laws are pretty similar to programs, and there's a big jump in complexity going from 2 of something to 3 of something. Anyone that was actually poly would know this from all the honesty, negotiation, and ground rules that are required to make it work.
