It's about analogy.

First you should learn to quote. I strongly dislike when
someone heavily distorts my intended meaning by misquoting.
I wrote:
"Assimilation and dissimilation are not _necessary_ evolutions
but unlike major phonetical rules they are only _possible_ and
in some conditions _probable_."
Now, take any English dictionary and check out the meaning of
the word "unlike". Then read again the phrase, though I doubt
you'll notice any difference at this point.
Anyway, if your intention is to answer to an idea you clearly
missed, better don't. For the sake of the list.

The rest of the message has no point.
