Your intervention derailed the discussion into one of syntax.  Bart then
simply stopped talking about his original claim.  Way back I pointed
out that:

|| What is needed on the two sides is not the same.

And he replied

| I would argue that it is exactly the same.

He did, later, say that is was "exactly the same" except for the
differences but then went back to "I do mean exactly the same".
