You will recover from the Stun in under 10 Hours, most likely, while that Single point of Physical Damage will not go away for a Minimum of 24 Hours. My point stands. Physical Damage is more damaging than Stun Damage. It is OBJECTIVELY WORSE to take Physical than it is to take Stun.
You cannot argue that point. It is a Fact of the game, and a Fact of reality in the world. Everything else is just the smoke and mirrors of the THEORETICAL Problem problem that does not appear in game.

You're shooting it out with the police.
Would honestly say it is BETTER for you to go unconscious and take the consequences were being arrested, tried before a jury of your peers, and sentenced to life imprisonment because of the crimes you comitted, and it is WORSE for you to take a gunshot wound to the meaty parts of yor upper arm, escape the police and get away so that you can collect your part of the payment/loot?
You can't just ignore the context the damage happens in, because if a wound or unconsciousness is better or worse depends on where you are and what you are doing.
Driving a car? Which is better?
Swimming?
Swimming in shark-infested waters?
Running from the police?
Running from a serial killer?
Having an excellent Mage with a heal spell on hand?
In many cases, it won't matter if you take an actual wound or not, because if you fall unconscious instead you'll be dead (or wishing you were...)
