All fares vary by itinerary... indeed, virtually all airlines use dynamic pricing software, so they don't only vary by itinerary, they vary from hour to hour, minute to minute. What has that got to do with the debate? It is a spurious argument trying to defend the indefensible.
Spurious? Indefensible? Clearly you advocate "lump sum" pricing. When I or you or anyone else goes online to buy a ticket we should merely plug in our origin, destination, dates of travel and be presented with one amount which says "Here's what it costs. Pay or pass." An educated consumer likes to see exactly what he or she is actually paying for. I guess you're just not that educated.
