One is an "obvious" symbol for selling out, the band's turn towards commercialism and away from integrity, etc. etc. etc., and the other--while the same exact thing--means nothing at all because it doesn't quite fit.
Yup, pretty much. When all evidence points to a certain conclusion, then that conclusion gains more solid ground to stand on. And there's no smoke without fire. Maybe that's why you see so many people making criticisms these days. Hey, but what do we know? We're just fans on a message board.
