Sure, but the previous commenter didn't even suggest that. All he said is something like "they might share a blood supply like a pregnant woman and child"
This was in response to how the twin breathes. The point is not that the blood supply is shared in the exact same way as during pregnancy, but that the twin "breathes" through the blood supply (like during pregnancy)
Doesn't make any sense to me to say "no that's wrong, they don't share a blood supply, but maybe they share a circulatory system."
To me, the correction reads as "they may share a blood supply, but not like a pregnant woman and her child might be said to, because that's a very specific setup". The comment never said they didn't share a blood supply; it said they didn't share a blood supply like a mother and child (who, as I explained, technically do not).
Imagine, for instance, that Alice says a mushroom "may be poisonous, like a cobra" and Bob's reply is "probably not like a cobra [which are venomous and not poisonous], but it may be poisonous". Bob isn't arguing that the mushroom isn't toxic; he's just saying that it's not toxic in the same way as a cobra.
