However, "virtually" is NOT identical.

Try not watering a horse for 6 weeks and see how long it lasts.

Try riding a horse over sand dunes for weeks on end and see how long it 
lasts or the distance it covers, compared to a camel.

Try making turkish delight out of camel hooves...

Differences are important, (sometimes even critical...)

And THAT was my point.
