It seems that maybe you are right; it was just I that messed up on the definitions. However, as you and I stated before, durability and endurance are the same; they do not belong in categories. Endurance is typically associated with a living thing, where durability is associated with a non-living object or non-people like objects, but that does not mean it is wrong to say a person has durability over endurance. Endurance may be the preferred or proper term to use, but the meaning is the same. It is really just the context in which the words are used that should justify the usage not the wether or not it is the proper noun based on categorical assumptions which can change with time.

We may agree that durability is the same as endurance, but I guess we can disagree on the whether or not it is right or wrong to use durability or endurance.

Durability doesn't apply to humans at all mate.. To humans its Endurance. If someone uses durability (sometimes they tend to do it in sports) it is always referring to endurance. They are changed sometimes. Stamina is part of Endurance, so stamina is the thing that goes under them.

Human body and body parts falls under the catagory of durability.

Boxers have lots of durability and endurance, whereas marathon runners only have endurance but not so much durability. Durability in naruto would be the quality of withstanding a beating,whereas endurance is being able to keep fighting for a long period of time, not getting out of breath

Correct... An example would be the senju's "vitality" and the "sages body" which are basically endurance and durability. right?

Skin can be durable

Bones can be durable

durability is applied to humans....I don't see what the argument is

The thread wasn't about that if they are different things, its about how the word is used. Believe that it is different from Endurance, but its not. That is all i was trying to say.
