The hard facts are on the disk itself.  One says DD, and the other says HD.
Most disks have a warranty on them for error-free use-- and using a DD disk
as HD void this warranty.  Thus, the manufacturer makes no claims on if a 
DD disk will work as HD.  

That's the fact.  Using a DD disk as HD disk comes with no guarrentes.

If there were hard facts supporting this then all the disk manufacturers
would re-label the disks and sell them at a higher price...

If you want hard facts, read the box that the disks comes in.  Those are the
only facts that are backed by more than "I've tried it and it seems to work."
