No they are not.  While one can find levels of indirection to
translate between one and the other, that doesn't mean they're
equivalent.  It's like saying that because I can make an equivalence
between the complex plane and the real, that they should be treated as
equivalent.  But they shouldn't -- else you run into a domain error.
