Id say its semantic nitpicking (which can be a good thing) and that it also depends on what ur trying to understand about it. Bitcoin is much more than p2p though, because there is a social layer to it, incentive models, etc.

The nitpicking was prompted by a Nostrasia interview with Stewart Mackenzie. Apologies if I get the lingo wrapped around my neck, but I think he said that unless you can show him that the path is from private key to private key, don't even think about calling the network censorship resistant. And he was very critical about IP addresses too. Probably best to listen to him! His benchmark is a state attack, rather than keeping out Johnny Rotten Hacker. Not a bad height to set for a bar, though!
