Bush and bush are pronounced the same, therefore they are the same thing.
QED
ex·am·ple /ɪgˈzæmpəl, -ˈzɑm-/ noun, verb,-pled, -pling.
–noun
one of a number of things, or a part of something, taken to show the character of the whole:
This painting is an example of his early work.
a pattern or model, as of something to be imitated or avoided:
to set a good example.
an instance serving for illustration; specimen:
The case histories gave carefully detailed examples of this disease.
an instance illustrating a rule or method, as a mathematical problem proposed for solution.
an instance, esp. of punishment, serving as a warning to others:
Public executions were meant to be examples to the populace.
a precedent; parallel case:
an action without example.
You used 'Bush' and 'bush' as an example.
Yay, you can quote big quotes!
It still doesn't have anything even remotely to do with anything I said.
You haven't even told me what it's supposedly an example
of
, for crying out loud.

Sigh, this is why I don't like arguing with you.
You used 'Bush' and 'bush' as examples to show that two words that are pronounced the same don't mean the same thing.
Can it be any more obvious?
WTF are you talking about?
Bush and bush are pronounced the same,
therefore they ARE the same thing

Well, bush at the start of a sentence is 'Bush' after all.

What exactly are you even arguing?
That Bush and bush are the same thing due to their similar pronunciations.

One is a person's name meanwhile the other is an object. How are they the same thing?
due to their similar pronunciations.

\ˈbu̇sh\ = spoken word
That spoken word can mean several different things, usually understood via the context.
Thus, we would classify everything falling under that spoken word, \ˈbu̇sh\, as a single genus. The particular "sub-bush" would be the species.
So, returning to the statement "they are the same
thing
." It is clear that thing must refer to the genus, \ˈbu̇sh\, to which they both belong.
Do I really have to do all your guys' thinking for you?

No, because that's probably the most obscure method you could have countered the argument.
