I think Patricia summed it up fairly well.

technically, they are not the same: they do different things and work in 
different ways, but with their similarity being mostly in regards to the 
role they serve.

the cooking analogy would be of substituting ingredients with other 
things: the things being substituted are not the same, but in a food 
product they may be similar enough. like, something calls for eggs, but 
a person uses something like mayonnaise instead, ... no one may claim 
that raw eggs and mayonnaise are the same thing, but both may serve a 
similar role in certain food products.
