I'm not arguing against that.  STRONG and CODE have logical
distinctions.  I can (now) even see the logical distinction from a '2nd
level' STRONG (i.e STRONG within a STRONG) from a 1st level STRONG
tag.

However, the elements I listed: CODE, SAMP, KBD, KEY; do not appear to
have logical difference when each element is nested within itself.
