In Bohmian mechanics, the term $$\begin{equation} Q = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\nabla^2 R}{R} \end{equation}$$
is regarded as the quantum potential term. However this is merely a term from the real part of the quantum kinetic energy equation. $$\begin{equation} T = -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\nabla^2 \Psi}{\Psi} \end{equation}$$
I completely fail to see why this should be regarded as anything except kinetic energy. Can someone explain?
(Yes, I know about dividing by complex quantities. When you plug in the polar form of $\Psi$ the exponentials cancel and you're left with just $R$ so dealing with the $\Psi*$ is unnecessary.)
