"is the same as"

[Dr. John E. McLaughlin]

Actually, the analogy I used in my last post didn't exactly correlate with
the argument being made.  A better analogy is that since a few Australians
know the Star Spangled Banner and all Americans know the Star Spangled
Banner, then all Americans are Australians!  That's what relating linguistic
change (Americans) to biological change (Australians) is really like.
