You are of course correct that they aren't the same although it's
inconsequential for this particular point: real gut or synthetic gut
are both flexible and won't break when going over the ear. The
contrast is against a metal core, which can break in this manner.
I actually use both, depending on the particular string, for the same
reason.

On the other hand, using a gut core also prevents the problem.
I think it would be helpfull to distinguish between the synthetic
strings that are used as replacement for gut and real gut. Otherwise
the wrong imression may occure to the unexperienced reader that it
is gut, as in real gut.
