Stance on Creature Tokens

Hi Mark! You've mentioned many times that flavour-wise, creature tokens are identical to creatures. Mechanically though, I feel like more and more, they're being treated differently. There's more abilities that only trigger for things related to non-token creatures, cards that can only target token or non-token creatures, stuff like that. While this of course makes sense mechanically because creature tokens are something that can more often be easy to abuse, how is this justified from a flavour perspective? In Bloomburrow for example, we've got "Conduct Electricity" - this targets a creature and then specifically a creature token. This makes no sense to me flavour-wise if they're the same thing.There's of course been a difference between the two mechanically for a long time, Pawn of Ulamog only triggers on non-token creature's deaths, but it feels like more and more, they really aren't the same thing in-universe.

Magic cards often do mechanical things that aren’t reflected creatively.
