You are making incorrect assertions in lieu of the facts presented to 
you in previous posts. Unless countered, they stand in the archives 
and serve to mislead others who might actually believe that there was 
fact-based merit to your statement.

The article itself 
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42717> is fairly 
penetrable to most people taking the time to read and consider it as 
it applies to any two Apple products on the two lists therein. You 
obviously are not one of those so fortunate. You should instead equip 
yourself with a straight and a crossover cable, make some tests in 
your 16-computer home computing environment and then write a short 
and incisive piece which communicates your findings in a manner 
explanatory to others who find themselves misled by the Apple article.

There is no such thing as one explanation that fits all. In testing 
and rendering an explanation, you would do a service to many who 
might otherwise suffer the same confusion that the Apple article 
induced for you.
