I think there is an equivocation involved. Sameness can apply either
to the thing itself or to attributes of a thing. By "identical" I
suspect Ken means "attributes which are the same," not that they are
the same in every respect, i.e., not the same things in themselves.
But for those of us who are mostly content when things work and don't
always have to know exactly how they work, is there a subtext of all
this? Is the KAF5101C better or worse in terms of these
characteristics? Is this just kind of interesting? Why should I
care? Should I bring this up at parties?
