] Do you mean that there aren't any real differences between them?

There are.

But the type of person who would take someone else's casual
comparisons and use them to make decisions is the type of person
who should be prevented from obtaining casual comparisons.

For non-casual comparisons, you will need to specify precise
release version numbers and pay my inflated consulting rates
that I charge for doing things that I don't like to do unless
someone pays me inflated consulting rates.
