Part of the purpose of this post was to see if posts to personal blogs could get discussion about something likely to be contentious. The evidence gave in the videos surprised me so I could either dismiss the evidence or try and explain it. You ignore lots of new things if you dismiss everything, so it is worth trying to explain things sometimes.
I’m guessing it got downvoted because you can’t visually tell blog posts from frontpage posts on the all posts page. So people thought I was trying to spam up frontpage with this kind of thing (which I wasn’t). I’ll try again for this sort of thing when they are visually distinct.
I share your concern that users are not yet able to distinguish between blog posts and frontpage posts. I’m not sure how to tell either, aside from going to your blog and seeing if i can spot it there.
