"likely" is different from "certainly".  In most cases they are the same
offset.  In some cases they are different offsets.  I think "likely"
describes that well enough.

"similar" is not the same as "same", though it is similar .....

"same" means there is no difference.
"similar" means there might be a difference, but it is not a big difference.
