And no, saying you "should go cool off for a day" doesn't actually address them if you read them and it's also imposing a requirement on the person to counter a BUG. You REALLY keep avoiding this and absolutely insist on using examples (e.g. sock puppets) that aren't applicable to this. Ther is no "disguise" and logs can easily prove that.
As I pointed out to you before, this isn't the dev list, and people here don't determine whether this documented behaviour is a bug or a feature. So making your case here, however eloquently, isn't going to do one dot of good in achieving the change you want.
I note you haven't tried asking on the dev list, mediawiki-l. Perhaps if you do, someone will explain why the feature works the way it does.
