This is a slightly different sense of the word compatible than we have
been discussing: able to work together to perform a function, not
interchangeable.

Nope.  Remember, the assertion by harrismh777 was that "all you have
to do to prove incompatibility is to show 'one' (1) test case where
compatibility fails".  As one example, any Calc document that uses the
EASTERSUNDAY function will fail in Excel, since Excel does not provide
it.  I could easily come up with other examples (let's not even get
into the differences in macros), but one is all I need.
