Well, I think the saying kinda implies that the conditions are the same. Obviously, common sense dictates that doing the same thing when conditions are radically different can yield different results. (For instance, taking a deep breath is usually good for you. But doing so underwater is obviously not.)
Of course, this then leads to an argument over how the conditions differ in the example where the saying is used, like with MS here.
