IP address -->   MAC address -->   Connected AP

As the MAC addresses are NOT reliable, it is a lot more straight
forward to directly map between IP addresses and APs.

In the (excellent!) experiment, you associated yourself with one or more MAC
addresses.  Your IP address is more likely to change than your MAC.

I can't see the point of insisting on MAC. If MAC is so good, use it,
not IP, for geo-location.

In the (truly excellent) experiment, the goal was to find out which room
someone was in so you could find them.

Are there any other hidden assumptions of the experiment?

I acknowledge there is no real world use cases.
