You are applying too broad definition of the term "stopover." End-on-end fare pricing does not include a "stopover" as the term is used in the context of fare construction b/c it is neither part of the fare nor is it defined by a period of time.
You can just as easily buy a 1 hour connection using end-on-end construction as a 6 hour connection. If we are using time and fare rules to define the length of a stopover, neither qualifies.
