Maybe if you go re-read the entire thread from the beginning, you will see how ridiculous and off-target your rant looks and will take another stab at it.  This time spare me the insults and comment thoughtfully on the technical implications, please.

I'm not talking about IC's I'm talking about switches.  An IC would have separate pin numbers anyway.  Two footprint pin/pads with the same pin number is the topic of discussion here.
