Thinking of it as "serialization" is at the heart of the conversational disaster. If you figure out why, then maybe this conversation can continue more fruitfully.This does seem to be Uche's original problem. Blaming a type system for a silly serialization doesn't actually have any standing.
You seem to expect enlightenment to arrive on your terms and in your language. In my experience, there is no subtlety to these distinctions at all. You keep insisting on blurring terms ("nearly zero distinction"), which makes it pretty much impossible to explain what's happening.Apparently I have nothing to teach you.When you refuse to elucidate the very subtle point you are trying to make, it is very difficult for people to learn from you.
