No, it’s not, that’s why I said faking it. It’s a way to allow the craft to land safely using rotation, but obviously working on a completely different principal. The only reason they even get mentioned together is that was the original inspiration for why they explored using rotation to assist. I only know that because I know one of the people who originally developed it. Like you said, they quickly figured out it wouldn’t make sense to use the same principal.
