Should a Full Fare round trip (undiscounted, fully refundable) be US$ 4000??

Thanks
I think that there is a basic flaw in your assumption that a "full fare round trip" ticket MUST be the sum of two one way tickets. Particularly for international travel this is not the case.

It is not necessarily that the fare is discounted because you are returning; it is because a round-trip ticket is a different beast than a one-way ticket.
