I agree.  This is exactly what this issue was trying to get at:  How do 
I describe this "node vs page" deal in some documentation.  In our 
future doc. efforts we should say:
----
The default type of content you can create in Drupal is a "page".  A 
"story" originally provided distinct functionality but is currently 
exactly the same as a "page"  The option to create a story has been 
maintained to provide for legacy installs of Drupal and to aid in the 
upgrade process.
----

Switch page and story if I have it backwards but I hope I don't.  While 
this isn't a support forum we have to be open to answering questions 
about how Drupal works to make sure our Documentation is accurate and 
well written.
