It's not an oxymoron, accept that it is! :D.
I think however what was meant here is that Mahjong follows a similar basic
structure to rummy in that players take turns exchanging or disguarding
cards (tyles), in order to get some predetermined goal in their hand, which
is also the basic structure of 31's (also called stop the bus), and some
similar games.
I suspect though in Mahjong, the method by which the exchange and disgarding
happens, the targit scoring hands and indeed how they are scored are rather
different from those in rummy.
I could be wrong, I just remember hereing somewhere that mahjong did involve
exchange, disgard and scoring type gameplay.
Beware the grue!

You confuse me with this:
"Regular mahjong plays a lot like rummy ... except where it doesn't, and
there are a lot of ways it doesn't."
So, does it play like Rummy? or not. That's an oxymoronic statement like
"It's the same, but different." (grin)

Actually, you may be thinking of Mahjong solitaire, which I don't want.
I
don't see any way for a person to play that.

puzzle.
Cheers!
