Thanks for the answers about negating a comparison. I am not clear yet,
after a panel at qep'a' vaghDIch, about saying "the same quality as..."
Obviously, we have constructions is {rur}. Sometimes this construction does
not feel complete. Just because one resembles another, I usually don't get
the feeling that they are the same quality.
Hopefully, MO will reveal more that will clear this up.
