No,
   I believe he is saying that they are the same TYPE of memory, but
the data section is optimised for more read / write cycles.  Hence
the same programming spec, but different endurance.  There is no
real need for 1M programming cycles on program memory, but 10k
would be a bit limiting on data memory.
