Corporate wants physicists to find the difference between Newton's Second Law and the Euler-Lagrange equation. To the untrained eye, they look completely different. To physics PhDs who've spent years deriving these equations, they're fundamentally the same principle expressed in different mathematical languages. Just like how F=ma and Lagrangian mechanics both describe the same physical reality, but one lets you solve problems without wanting to throw yourself out the window.
