Default Re: Necessary properties vs. essential properties?

[ QUOTE ]
To me it still stands as nothing but a semantic riddle. They aren't the same but what they name are the same properties. So both yes and no are wrong answers, and you can kill any answer .

If they pick out the same set of properties then they are extensionally equivalent. That doesn't make the issue a semantic one.
