No.
Sure it is... he said "similar"... not identical. They are not the
same, but they are similar.
'equality' and 'identity' are similar too, so the whole answer would make
no sense in that case. You can't explain identity based on things that
aren't identical. A fine grained question for a fine grained difference
requires a fine grained answer.
Saying a flat "no" alone, without qualifying your statement is
generally interpreted as rude in English... It's kind of like how you
talk to children when they're too young to understand the explanation.
Yucky.
I didn't meant to be rude at all - and I apologize to Mr. Lie. The
explanation for such strong "No" was in the paragraph below it (the idea
was to say: "No to this, yes to that")
