These kinds of arguments do not help making your point :-(

Be that as it may - whatever appears in that dialog is not an excuse to claim
that a Heading is not a Heading.

That is true for documents, and people writing documents.

There's no "freedom" to set the defaults - they're what you get when you
install the application; and the defaults must make sense. Of course I can
rename my styles and make all sorts of other changes, but this bug is not about
user configurability.

> Heading N are the *default* heading styles

No, Heading and Heading N (and arguably, Title, Subtitle and perhaps a few
others) are the default heading styles. Not because that's what the LO _code_
treats them, but because they are that, by their (intuitive) definition.

> The program's logic is not really that different from other software

I doubt you would be able to find a document authoring app which has paragraphs
described as "Headings", that are excluded from a list of headings. But if you
were to find one, that would be a bug.
