the same results may be achived in the desired effect but the way the actual effect is done and the instruction used are different, and it's the differences which seperate them into shaders or TEV stages, for example both IBM and Intel CPU have sets of instructions but this does not mean they are compatible with each other when it comes to software, same goes for shaders and TEV.


Of course they're not compatible, but a set of instructions that runs on an Intel CPU is called a "program", and a set of instructions that runs on an IBM CPU is called a "program."
