There are so many differences that it blows the mind to think that you find
no differences. It would take a long essay (of your sort) to list all the
differences, which, except for you, all the other members of this list
already know them. So for their sakes, I won’t list them. Further, you have
another argument from silence logical fallacy.

Maybe one out of ten details match, the other nine don’t. Further, you even
misrepresent some of the details that you claim “match” but don’t really.
