It was just a hypothetical reference.

No, it's not.  I won't repeat the rationale, though.  You can find it
yourself in the archives of this very mailing list.

How can one single thing be two different things?  There are also
relevant strategical reasons to not conflate both.  But I guess you'd
not be interested.

Only in your peculiar world of imagination where two closely related
things are always only one.  Right there, where the GNU project is the
FSF and GNU is not different of Guix.

I've told you before, I'm telling you again: you have problems making
your reasoning work on similar, but distinct, concepts without
conflating them.  Your analogies are faulty and your definition of the
single parts often equates to the whole.  I need not tell you that
that's not good for a rational argumentation.
