The number of pixels is only part of the story. The dynamic vertical
resolution is very different.
Look at a fashion catwalk with the model approaching the camera and watch
the detail in the costumes pump in and out as the model walks in a 1080I
production.
Good De-interlacing can make a big difference.

This article looks like it was written by a spec reader without a technology
background.

1080i and 1080p are the same resolution

The 1080i your cable box sends out is the same number of pixels that your
1080p TV has.

There still seems to be some confusion about the difference between 1080i
and 1080p. Both are 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution. Both have
2,073,600 pixels. From one perspective, 1080i is actually greater than
Blu-ray. And, you can't even get a full 1080p/60 source other than a PC,
camcorder, or some still cameras that shoot video.

True, 1080i and 1080p aren't the same thing, but they are the same
resolution. Let the argument commence...
