Physicists showing off their fancy equations for quasiparticles and "fundamental" particles, only to reveal the dirty little secret of quantum physics—they're mathematically identical! The wave functions, commutation relations, all that jazz... it's the same picture.

This is basically physics' version of rebranding vanilla ice cream as "artisanal frozen dairy experience" and charging double. Whether you're dealing with electrons or phonons, the universe just said "ctrl+c, ctrl+v" on the math and hoped we wouldn't notice.
