We need all these portals all at once: BBW (oops I meant BWB), DA, NMT, LC, FC, JM. You can block portals with instants. Instants cannot technically block it. They just blow up instantly or are used and sometimes kill the zombies with them (except if Gargs spawn). But still that would mean instantly digging up the plants to make space for one instant if one happens to spawn right in the middle of your defense. That's bad design and is there just to p*ss players off. Also, this: Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time - Gameplay Walkthrough Part 446 - Modern Day Part 1 (iOS) - YouTube at 6:55. He did the same with a ghost pepper! But GP is not an instant. Also that will be fixed if the devs notice it when they see/ remember that instants stop the portals. GP sort of is... I guess it counts, anyway. No, it doesn't count. Then you should also consider Lava Guava, Stallia, Shrinking Violet etc as also instants. They are not instants like the traditional ones as they don't get used up instantly but rather wait for a while. That's why we seperate them as delayed activation rather than instants. Well, it counts in the game, so... No, it isn't counted in the game at all (unlike what you think) since the codes specifically mention their activation times. Anything with an activation time is never considered an instant (since instants don't have them) since it has a timer. So you're wrong. Explain why they can stop the portals, then! What does this have to do with you considering Ghost Peppers (or any other delayed activated) plants as instants? Are you deranged? Why did you suddenly change the topic?

As for the sudden unrelated question itself, I currently have no answer but I'll have to take a look at the codes for that. Only instants stop portals (others get bounced away) => GP can stop portals => GP is an instant. Let's read Wikipedia about inference. From your logic, you said that:
 * 1) All A are B.
 * 2) C is B.
 * 3) Therefore, C is an A.

Which is wrong, because if you use this analogy: Your way of inferring Ghost Pepper as an instant is wrong. Allow me to point out, you said that Bananas are fruit. That is actually not true. Their scientific classification is actually as a berry, which are technically not considered fruit.
 * 1) All apples are fruit (correct)
 * 2) Bananas are fruit (correct)
 * 3) Therefore, bananas are apples (wrong)
