That is absolutely INSANE!!! Seems to me like absolute stupidity, because you don't know the difference between garden gnomes and the GNOME desktop environment. Sucks for you

Call me insane, but is there any difference? You got me curious. Could you elaborate on that?
The only thing similar is the name. Every other aspect of both these things are nothing alike. Even fundamentally, one is a piece of software and one is a ceramic sculpture.

This is not exactly correct. Both Gnome shells are products of human labor (and in this case "human labor" means a labor of humans born on planet Earth), that are extremely unlikely to occur naturally. This places both shells into very narrow subcategory of objects - for comparison, the majority of our solar is believed to be non-human made. Which means that GNOME shell and Gnome shell have common aspect aside from having similar english name.
If we were to represent entire universe as a collection of classes (as in programming) or "families"(as in biology), then any pair of objects would have at least one common family/ancestor/category they belong to. Pen is similar to pencil because they're both used for writing. Cat is similar to bear because they're both animals. A vacuum is similar to a musical performance because they both have human-made concept associated with them. As a result, every single object will be derived from a basic "Concept" object which will be a root for entire object/category hierarchy. Or we could make things more fun and use multiple inheritance with multiple hierarchies. As a result, with such model everything will have something in common with everything else.
Which means that a sycamorex's question was a valid one.
