[ WP ] Two arguing people convinced the other is wrong , but are actually trying to debate the same opinion using radically different wording .

It was in the chilly Autumn of 1896 that all London was plagued, and the Ornithological 
 world fascinated, by the appearance of grey swallows in a most multitudinous number and variety. The Times, observant in its duty to the public, was quick to inform Londoners of the locations where the flocks were roosting and provided plenteous, though dubious, methods on how to remove them. Speculation abounded in the lesser papers and spurred on by these, London was abuzz with lurid theories on the origins of the flock and what they would do next. 
 
 
 This talk had even spread to the warm confines of the Woolsely Gentlemans Clubs on Sheffield Street, where I was staying for the fortnight and it led to a most peculiar conversation between two fellow travelers one evening. Looking back with the hindsight of 10 years, and the certain knowledge that the East Greater London Borough Grey Speckled Swallow is the same as the West Greater London Borough Grey Speckled Swallow, I am still discomforted by the questions raised by the two combatants. It is a most vexing matter. 
 
 
 The first participant in this strange tale were William Stanley, a gentleman scientist up from Lancashire to purchase equipment necessary to his experimentation from the firm of Bellman and Grimes. He was a man of firm character - a bachelor - possessing an even temperament. I will attest to these having had the pleasure of his company for four nights prior to the arrival of Mr Smith. And even now that I'm aware he sought out Mr Smith on the morrow and murdered him most foully, I am firm in this belief.
