I like to think of this as a parable which, if you contemplate it and tease out the deeper meaning, might sum up everything that is currently wrong with modern society:
I have two pairs of pants. They are actually two different sizes of the same style of pants. One is a size 14, the other a size 16. The 14 is so tight I can't comfortably keep things in my pockets; the 16 is so loose I need to hold it up with a belt. There is no 15 - such a thing does not even exist.
Have you teased out the deeper meaning yet? I'll give you a clue, it's buried in the first sentence of the post...
