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.

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.

How does the answer change the question?
Perhaps you should lay your argument out again if I am mis-understanding. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you reasons for your conclusion, not asking a question.
