Dummie question on ping (loopback)

what's the point of having loopback when you can just ping your local ip address? for example if my ip is 1.1.1.1, why can't i just do ping 5 1.1.1.1 instead of ping 5 127.0.1.1? it seems to me the only point in having it is for the sake of convenience?

SCREENCAPTURE(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  SCREENCAPTURE(1)

NAME

     screencapture -- capture images from the screen and save them to a file or the clipboard

SYNOPSIS

     screencapture [-SWCTMPcimswxto] file

DESCRIPTION

     The screencapture utility is not very well documented to date.  A list of options follows.

     -c      Force screen capture to go to the clipboard.

     -C      Capture the cursor as well as the screen.	Only allowed in non-interactive modes.

     -i      Capture screen interactively, by selection or window.  The control key will cause the screen shot to go to the clipboard.	The space
	     key will toggle between mouse selection and window selection modes.  The escape key will cancel the interactive screen shot.

     -m      Only capture the main monitor, undefined if -i is set.

     -M      Open the taken picture in a new Mail message.

     -o      In window capture mode, do not capture the shadow of the window.

     -P      Open the taken picture in a Preview window.

     -s      Only allow mouse selection mode.

     -S      In window capture mode, capture the screen instead of the window.

     -t      <format> Image format to create, default is png (other options include pdf, jpg, tiff and other formats).

     -T      <seconds> Take the picture after a delay of <seconds>, default is 5.

     -r      Do not add screen dpi meta data to captured file.

     files   where to save the screen capture, 1 file per screen

BUGS

     Better documentation is needed for this utility.

     To capture screen content while logged in via ssh, you must launch screencapture in the same mach bootstrap hierarchy as loginwindow:

     PID=pid of loginwindow
     sudo launchctl bsexec $PID screencapture [options]

     A screencapture utility first appeared in Mac OS X v10.2.
