Says who?

Mac OS X is a descendant of NeXTStep. It shares no code in common with classic Mac OS.
How is Mac OS Classic sharing lines of code, or not, even relevant to the question?
By definition. If they used the same code, they would be similar.
Yes but the opposite is not true, zero line of code shared does NOT necessarily imply zero or near zero similarity. Which is the case under discussion.
