Where on earth did you get that idea? All I said was that microchip
put the high endurance/larger celled/more expensive eeprom cells where it is
needed (in the data EEPROM) and not where it is not needed (Program memory.)

They then call one Flash and the other EEPROM when it is all EEPROM
even if it is of different endurance.

Actually, lets make that a 16C84 x 1 million times for the sake
