What is the exact difference between "vague term 1" and "vague term 2"?

Given that humans are unable to "something humans are quite capable of", how did ancient man survive?
And the alternatives:
Given that humans are then only ones who "something lots of other animals also do", how did that evolve from nothing?
and
Given that "ancient critter X" ONLY "something X didn't only", how did it survive?

Wobblywobblywobbly40 is now Wobblywobblywobbly39.
mike alexander is now Helen Shapiro.
Joy Division is now New Order.
Life on Mars is now Ashes to Ashes.
David Tennant is now Matt Smith.
Helen Shapiro has changed back to mike alexander. That didn't last long.
My Dinner is now Eaten.
(The thread that records name changes only annoys me in as much as I can't make comments. Which is probably just as well.)

I was going to make a witty response, but I share the sentiment too strongly. It really does annoy me when someone begins an argument - usually political - with "Man/humanity is the only species that..." and then states something which lots of animals do.

I want you to review my theory about why Einstein was wrong, even though I don't actually know any of the math involved, or, for that matter, what any of Einstein's theories actually state, and I don't actually want you to tell me why my theory is incorrect. I have also invented an entire lexicon of words that come from science, but don't mean what scientists mean when they use them, so that we can't base our conversation on the same language. kthx.

It's simply global to the solution in the OP, since on viable moments it's acting according to my theory. I've worked on this ever since a canned local limit to the magnetic departures came out of my handwaving, and as well, it's classical in its properties! Newtonian is key. Your mathematics shows clearly that absorption is always magnetic. Yes it's a ZPF particle! Certainly, my studying while actually in the ZPF field is a collection of rates of localized conserved moments. It shows all systems are that system, aka word salad.

X it the solution to global warming.
Followed by, in any other thread mentioning global warming:
But if only people would X, then global warming would be solved.
With X being a something with no substantial large-scale work done and thus no hard economical numbers nor any numbers relating to the engineering.
Global warming can be substituted with any other large scale problem where economics makes any real solution sub-optimal in the short- and likely mid-term.

Something reminded me of how awesome a book/movie/TV series/etc that occurred several decades ago in my youth was! I will now make cryptic comments about how good it was that will be completely unintelligible to anyone born later.

That's obvious. "Vague term 2" has a "2" in it instead of a "1" and follows "vague term 1" in the sentence.

Knee jerk reaction comparing the previous poster to anything and everything that invokes Godwin's law.
Because I know very well this post is against board rules, I predict I will be banned for this post because this board is moderated by something again invoking Godwin's law.
After my banning, quote the moderator's post that explains this got me banned, claiming that my banning proves I'm right and you cannot handle the truth, to end with something invoking Godwin's law.
