You may have a point. Nah...all those Spotmatics are too different to be lumped together, although some of their individual totals could defensibly be combined into one grouping of a similar enough camera to be called the "same." I'll have to think about it. And lumping ALL the K's together is going too far, sir! I would concede that the Z-1 and Z-1p may be different enough not to be considered the same, although that's not how I see it. Regarding your unconditional trust of nameplates, would you honestly say that the LX and LX2000, for instance, are really "different" cameras just because the manufacturer named them in those ways for marketing reasons? And surely we can all agree that a K1000 is essentially equivalent to a K1000SE without heading down some terrifying slippery-slope. In any case, it isn't terribly important and I wouldn't get too upset about it.
