The various play and design philosophies in RPGs insiting they are different is like two garishly dressed wrestlers cutting promos.
It is technically possible for an outsider to tell they are different. But you need a decent appreciation for the lore to tell whis is which. They do the same stuff.

One of the most important things I do as a copyeditor/proofreader for tabletop games is to check that stats make sense.
Here's an example using the current game I'm working on, I'm using made up spells and skills for privacy.
