I hope I haven't asked this before, but here goes:
"Things that are different, by definition are the same."

As they are all DIFFERENT to the common thing, they all share the property of being the same in that respect.
So is that initial statement correct (and valid)?

Anyone ever discovered a great Stackoverflow (or Quora or usenet of similar) post precisely answering and solving your current question/problem - and gone to thank the author only to realise it was you?
