Soon as you hear people saying things like " essentially, nearly the same, just as good, not quite but a little less..." You know they are the kind you don't want to loan money to and they don't know what they are talking about.

You never hear a banker reply, "Thanks a lot, that is almost the whole payment. It is close enough." or hear people looking for a gun that goes off just like an '06 but only a little less.

It is or it is NOT. And the reality doesn't change because of funny stories or poetry.
