Being likened to something and being something are not the same thing. My dog is like my cat in that both are smallish, furry house pets. But my dog is not my cat. In WL's local church, if X had any analogous characteristics of Y, and WL decided it might be profitable ($), then X=Y. End of conversation. The Oracle has rendered pronouncement.
