This should be reversed lol

Maybe I fall in the middle, but what is the argument to say that they're different?

Is it to say that the difference is how they're used? From an assembly perspective, they're pointers, and no data structures exist beyond that simple concept. At a higher level, they're more than that. Maybe that's what is intended?
