Either they are counting gold years as platinum in the count they are showing**, in which case everyone should have the same number of gold/platinum as platinum, or they aren't, in which case, anyone who has the same number in both is being treated as having zero gold years. What am I missing here?

**They said they would count gold as platinum for lifetime purposes, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's how they'll show it on the screen.
The old Marriott Gold will count as Platinum for LT status under the new program,, the old SPG Gold will count as Gold under the new program. So it depends on where your years for LT status originate from whether there will be a difference in the gold/plat count and plat count.
