"Siblings" has only one or so meaning, it doesn't vary. It means "two or more children having the same parent(s) as each other" (brother/sister, half brother/half sister).

"twins" has several meanings... Two children/animals born at the same time... Two identical things... Two matching corrisponding items.

This is why "twin" has a much more vaguer meaning then those who think they are twins realise. It doesn't nessecary mean they are siblings, but it can also just mean that they were built as a pair. So the the idea of Len x Rin being "twincest" isn't nessecary true if you don't think of them as siblings. Either way the reason many think of "twins" as blood related is that the first thing that pops into ones head is that of twins born from hmans and animals. They don't think of twins in regards to two matching items. Since the Kagamines are concieved as androids like Miku, their defination of "twin" is closer to the item defintion then the blood related defination, since they weren't born as humans or animal.

Even then, CFM did not put the label "twins" on them, so they can also be two people who happen to carry the same name... Just as everyone who carries the name "smith" or "Copper" are not related (its a reference to their job, since when surnames came to be carried, many people did not have a true surname, so "John the Blacksmith" became known as "John smith" for example). Its the same even in Japan where two people with the same surname may not even be related, to the point I've actually come across someone from Japan who had a go at someone in the anime fandom in 2005 because they and someone else from Japan had the same surname... They were not related... For some reason, once again people can't seem to grasp this either... Just as with the twins thing... I'd go onto a mini-rant about this, but I guess its related to the fact throughout growing on, most of us get used to the names of those around us with the surname being from your own family (mother, sister, brother, uncle, auntie, cousin, grandparents, father, etc) and everyone who doesn't have the same surname is not related... Therefore when you come across someone else with your same surname, you have to ask if their related. :-/

This is also why Anon & Kanon are the first true sibling twins, since they are confirmed sisters.
