When we all start debating what the meaning of "is" is, it's

You are the one playing that game. You said earlier you used MMU
as write barrier for a GC in Java, and now you are deciding that
this is not a write barrier anymore.
But indeed, that settle the debate. If you are down to redefining
things as not write barriers as to pretend you can implement what
you redefine as a generational GC (which the rest of the world
call a compacting GC) then what is there to discuss ? You don't
seems to be up to date about recent GC technologies and/or
terminology used in the area.
