No... same question

No, Road. They are different questions. You can see that they are different questions by reading them.

You can also see that they are different questions by identifying that, given the same data set, they will return different answers. Given that a man named RoadRunner79 exists, but is not the same person that went streaking through Shanghai at noon today, the answer to "is there someone who went streaking through Shanghai at noon today?" is "yes", while the answer to "did RoadRunner79 go streaking through Shanghai at noon today?" is "no".

This is not complicated.
