Two things come to mind, about this topic and we've discussed this off and
on over the past year:

"plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_phrases_used_by_English_speakers#P>"
1849, Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr

and

"The Blind men and the Elephant" mid-1800s,  John Godfrey Saxe

You can grind meat many ways, add different seasonings and spices, and no
matter what happens, it's still sausage.

And lots of people can "look" at the same things from different angles, but
depending on your personal perspective, what you "see" can be totally
different.

I share my long time colleague Mr. White's opinion on this subject, for
many of the same reasons.  And for other personal/professional reasons, I'm
unwilling to support the further feathering of this bed.
