For ease of explaining to others...

I know that I am a little late to the party on this one (long DH tonight, plus a car on the jogging path near the field made for an interesting night), but here is an idea that I had regarding the DH situation, and I am wondering if this is a valid way of explaining it...
The DH and the player he is batting for are 2 halves of the same "player." They may choose to "overtake" the responsibilities of the other half, but cannot exist separately (as a whole) in the batting order.
Does that seem to cover the situation?
