I tend to see that as the same thing.

I think it was a riff on the "reality-based community" vs. the "faith-based community."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I support lurkers in e-mail.
No, wait...that's not right...not lurkers in e-mail.
I support boobies.
Which I guess makes me a bra, then.
