    In some ways it’s like saying that an automobile and a car are different things.

      I don’t realise the difference between these two either.

        Trucks aren’t cars, but they are automobiles

          Does this fit within the broad category if we stretch the idea ?

            Yup, no stretching required, that is also an automobile but not a car.

        All cars are automobiles, but not all automobiles are cars.

        Another analog to the original is to say “a bank account and a checking account are different things”. While a checking account is a kind of bank account, not all bank accounts are checking accounts.
