I believe what he is saying is that, in your case, vi and vim, are *not* symlinks to the same application, as some other package (e.g., vile) has replaced vi or vim. You can check for yourself by doing a "ls -l `which vi`", and a "ls -l `which vim`", and following the symlinks till you come to the actual application used. It is also possible that the application looks at how it has been invoked, and changes behaviour accordingly, though I have no idea if vim does that.
