If it didn't matter, people wouldn't keep looking for solutions, right?
In theory, you're right. In the real world, companies merge, etc., and
stuff that started independently gets VPN'd together and things break.
This is correct as far as it goes. If corps merge and their internal IP addresses overlap, they sort it out. There is no addressing based solution other than creative routing.
