Just to flip this, do you have any sources that horseshoe theory is a real thing? That's the funny thing about language, someone put Theory in the name and now people think it's a real thing.

To save you the trouble, it hasn't held up under academic study. Plenty of info on Wikipedia about it.

It doesn't deserve even that much effort

Just the basic definition of the two extremes tells you enough to know there is no similarity, and no serious thought behind the "theory".
