Well in that case its worth noting that I skipped breakfast this morning. :-P

In seriousness, I myself don't degrade anyone for comparing vocals unless they start comparing more then 2 Vocaloids. In my opinion vocaloids can sound siilair to each other, but they can't sound exactly the same nor can they sound like every Vocaloid (not taking into engine version here, would does render every Voclaoid in that generation with a particular tone) released. In real life you do get Vocalists who sound similair, therefore its not unreasonable to compare vocals in Voclaoid, but you must have some reasoning behind what you do. No Vocaloid has the same exact samples and this alone can cause variables. Furthermore, two vocals tuned the same way won't nessecary end up sounding the same no matter what you do to them, even if they sound similair in their default state. Each Vocaloid has things about it that make it different from their fellow vocaloids. Also, when people compare vocals that BARELY sound alike, I wonder how tone deaf certain members of this fandom really are. ^_-

But this whole thing goes back to the issue of how "unique" is something and its not worth trying to force something special onto something that already shares qualites and atributes with things in existence. Voclaoid itself is meant to sound like a realistic human being, so we're always going to have that much comparison, as well as those wondering what the differences between Vocaloid and auto-tuning is. And thats without even touching on the subject of design. :-/
