Hello!

> This was true until ~ 2001, when Linux introduced unstable USB handling.

Even before that point it wasn't true, adding a new controller card
could always result in renumbering the previously existing controllers.

The key failure in your reasoning is that there is no definition of "the
same device", which would be both consistent and useful.

Have a nice fortnight
