Yes, they do, Road. That's what it means to be a different question.

I just did that.

You get different answers.

Because they are not the same question.

Because I am not asking the question that you think I am.

Subject X is claimed to have done action Y.
Y may either be true or false.

There are a couple of conclusion one can make from this depending on if Y is true or false.    X does not exist is not one of them.

Of course it isn't.

But that isn't the question I'm asking.
