That's an apt analogy. If two tangible objects so objectively
distinct (the yam is over two meters long) can be confused and
treated as identical, how much more difficult to recognize and agree
on subjective differences?

One of President Lincoln's favorite riddles was this: How many legs
does a dog have if you call its tail a leg? The answer? Four. Just
because you call the tail a leg doesn't make it so.
