For once I agree with you. Unfortunately diplomatic recognition is no longer concerned with the actual criteria of what does or doesn't constitute a state. It denotes approval or disapproval of a particular entity. This, in effect, cuts off the possibility of negotiation with an entity one disapproves of through the regular diplomatic channels created for such a purpose.
