"Similar" is not identical. I'm assuming that slight difference is technically where the vampire-harming properties lie (lore-wise).

Kind of like how Duncan MacDougall published a study that human souls have weight, as he recorded someone losing 21 grams at the moment of their death. Not very significant at all, but perhaps humanity lies in the subtleties...
