Of course the house is different, but that is irrelevant to the point that
Jeff is making.
Your arguments tend to be unpersuasive and/or irrelevant because they are
not couched at the same level of abstraction as Jeff's.
If you don't know what I mean, do a web search on Hayakawa's Abstraction
Ladder.
Property can be viewed as a "bundle of rights" which makes Jeff's analysis
not only non-silly but perfectly sensible..
