Context is important. For example, chimpanzee DNA is 99% identical to human DNA. Without context you could make the argument, “They are almost identical!” and be correct. But in the context of discussing the ability to fly to the moon and return safely, the two genomes are completely different.

But with computer code, you very much can (for example) easily replace all the executables with a combined one that gets hardlinked with different names, such that they behave differently depending on argv[0]. They don't even need to be 100% identical for us to be able to do this; it works just as well with 1% identical code—you just end up with bigger combined binaries. This is the Busybox approach (notice it combines executables that have hardly anything in common), and it's in fact exactly what Clang already sometimes does (like on MSYS2); one would think they could take the same approach here. This is also precisely the context of the comment I replied to was saying, right? This is the context I was replying to. It's so confusing to me that you claim I'm missing context when I was in fact addressing the context I saw directly—and it was the other comments that were not.
