To me that seems like saying that American football is the same game as rugby or Aussie rules, because in all three games the ball is oblong, you throw, catch, kick, and run with it while slamming and getting slammed, and you get points for putting it over the the other team's end line.
The differences and the beauties lie in the details.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
