The lack of either standard or system amounts to the same thing.

Or at least this is the only way that they know of to fix it, which amounts to the same thing.

I wonder if, in the eye of God, it amounts to the same thing.

Or will not help, which amounts to the same thing.

Or shut it down, which amounts to the same thing.

Sometimes, for a male, it amounted to the same thing.

Or something in the way she saw him changed, which amounted to the same thing.

Or how sincere they were willing themselves to be, which amounts to the same thing.

Sometimes, for a woman, this amounts to the same thing.

And it amounted to the same thing in the end.
