You did not claim you were an NPC that is part of CONCORD. Clear difference there.
To be fair these politicians don't claim to be NPCs either. They're clearly player characters, just not capsuleers. The inability for paying customers of CCP to create non-capsuleer characters that can interact with the official channels and game world of EVE is the root of this entire argument.
Bad choice of words from me. "You did not claim you were a non-capsuleer that is part of CONCORD" would have been better.
I agree that the inability to make non-capsuleer characters is at the heart of the matter. How I interpret that is that for most purposes, you shouldn't. Players are supposed to play capsuleers; non-capsuleers in our work belong to EVE fiction, not to IGS.
