That's the thing though: they are different, and applying some thought will bring to light the way in which they are different. But most people who are against these things apply their efforts at conflating them due to their similarities, not understanding the importance of the differences.

And that's fairly easy to do, because there are plenty of people trying to tell you otherwise.
