For future reference, you are not as witty as you seem to think you are.

Anyway, this is just reminds me of that time when someone said something to the effect that Selphie could be a Sorceress... That's... Not possible... People argued that to the teeth and I was one of the none believers too,... wait for it... BUT.... I did agree with the possibility she could be in line of the "Succession of Witches"... Boy did I get flamed for that one too. At this point, I realized that this was exactly what you accuse me of... Wanting people to 'see it my way'... Yeah, that was just like the Para-Magic discussion where other bombarded me about the JME theory of Para-Magic when I didn't agree, but I understood. There were no 'facts' to support a JME in conjuction with Para-Magic, but I could understand the origin of that theory...
Junction Machine hypothesis, not a Junction Machine Ellone theory. And yes, it does have evidence, such as magic support tech, Junction Machine Ellone, Robots using Magic, etc.

HOWEVER... when I suggested that Para-Magic was an innate ability... Again,... boy did I get slammed.
Because we have direct evidence that suggests that it is not so, at least for terrestrial organisms, namely, the playable party.

There were no facts for the JME being used for Para-Magic by the military, no more than my natural ability...
There were facts AGAINST your postulate. JM Hypothesis, with no contradictory elements, wins by default.

Point being... It's all inspiration from a game/story we all love/hate...

That's why I say views. My quest is to understand why people hate the view of R=U... So called 'facts' don't prove anything...
You've been given several reasons. But let me wrap it all up into the answer I suspect you want. "IT'S TEH STOOPID, LOLZ!"

Seriously, we hate it because 1- It violates parsimony, specifically that we have no reason to believe sorceresses are immortal- aside from one line which must be taken out of context to mean so, and which is invalidated by Adel's search for a successor- and Ultimecia never had a knight, unlike Rinoa. It is an incredibly extraordinary claim, requiring some really solid evidence that its supporters have never been able to provide.
2- it would require Rinoa to have such a complete change of personality that Ulti would only share a body with the Rinoa we know.
3- It really just doesn't do anything at all for the story.
4- There isn't any official support for it, and official evidence against, given the explicit "Sorceress's have a normal human lifespan"
