No, the fact that they are different are VERY RELEVANT. The fact you
can't understand the difference is also VERY RELEVANT. Or is it just
that you disregard facts which don't support with your stupidness?
Losing the argument so you need to disregard the facts? Typical troll
behavior.
Whether or not a PHP interface is required is immaterial - we are
talking about the OO concept of an interface, not PHP interfaces.
But that's way too deep for you to understand - the same word having
different meanings in different contexts? Hope your head didn't explode.
