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.

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.

You also seem to want answers where there are none.
