Allow me to offer an analogy:

Transformers 3 and Transformers 4 share about 50% of their footage with each other.

The DVD Transformers 3 comes on is injection molded plastic, and a high school chair is also 50% injection molded plastic.

The difference between these things is basically the difference between your statements.
