Wow, you are really picking nits. Why not just agree that one does not substanitally differ from the other in this case?

I did. That's what "subsidy-like effects" means. If you're questioning why I replied as I did, my answer is simple. He posted; I replied. Words mean things. That's been my point from the very beginning.

Just because they can get you to the same place at the same time, would you likewise insist it's okay to call a HUMMER a Harley? You can buy things with cash or on credit. Would you use those terms interchangeably, as well?

As you stated previously, to do so would be to use the "wrong terminology." (How is it I'm "picking nits" now and not before? What caused you to change your mind?)
