It wouldn't be the first time 2 different apples are distributed under the
same name. It just requires one person that does a mistake and propagates
this mistake... We have seen this recently also with a discussion on
Flemish Beauty and Parker pears - it seems someone made a mistake a while
ago and now no one is sure anymore to have a true Parker or a true Flemish
Beauty...
