Seek the difference

Not trying to start a dispute here, but I need clarity:


I ran into this question: How to record bash terminal output?, In which OP asks how to save terminal output into a file. I therefore marked it as a dupe of: How do I save the output of a command to a file?.

Also the accepted answer totally confirms the fact that these questions are pretty much exact dupes, and OP was looking for exactly the same answer.

OP however claims that his question "is more specific to his requirments than that question in that link". The community seems to agree with him; hundreds of people have passed by, but no one added a close vote. So I have been wondering what is exactly the difference between:

"How to record bash terminal output?"

and

"How do I save the output of a command to a file?"

If someone can give me a good one, I will remove my close vote instantly. If not, please vote to close.
