That is ridiculous. Humans sometimes make mistakes and sometimes humans 
just change their minds. Why do you take such a suggestion so 
personally? I don't see the harm in fixing it so that if two or more 
different RealURL URIs point to the exact same page that any non-default 
URIs are redirected to the default URI for that page. Its very logical. 
It may be something you just don't want to do, maybe because it probably 
would make the RealURL process slower, or maybe you don't think its 
worth it. But please don't just blame it on human mistakes.
