Thank you;
and for some good examples.
BTW -
here's 'compatibility' as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, which
I think is recognized as an authority worldwide ;-)
I call dictionary abuse!
dictionaries don't prescribe how words _should_ be interpreted, they
describe how words _were_ and _are_ used, the latter badly in the
nature of the case since they usually lag behind current. people
always get this wrong.
and Humpty-Dumpty is close, very close, to the truth:
-----
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it
means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so
many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s
all.”
----
know what I mean?
anyway, sorry for the interruption.

[1a state in which two things are able to exist or occur together without
problems or conflict
1.1a feeling of sympathy and friendship; like-mindedness
1.2 Computing: The ability of one computer, piece of software, etc., to
work with another]
To me, fully compatible vs. compatible could parallel identical
twins vs. fraternal twins or clarified butter vs. butter or suede vs.
brushed leather or wood vs. wooden veneer or ... ... ... ;-)
And I guess I'm a detailist - perfectionist if you would; I gave up
photography when B&W film became impossible to obtain -
to me, in composing a photograph I consider all the components
yet with color photography - and now with digital images - the detailing is
impossible to obtain as it was when dealing with silver.

This is simply a false statement. "It's not compatible."
That literally depends upon how "compatibility" is defined.
There are use-cases where MSO 2013 is completely, utterly, and
absolutely incompatible with MSO 2013, when installed on a different
computer.
There are use-cases when MSO 2013 and OOo 1.x are completely compatible
with each other.
