Those two images being similar was a deliberate decision.

Also, if you feel the need to say "Essentially the same", you should ask yourself: "Really the same?". Mere similarity is not a case for "duplicate image".
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
It's similar for a reason? Huh, okay. Images have to be pixel for pixel duplicates so even if they're exactly the same bar a few elements, it's not the same so there. Got it.
You can close this, being similar isn't enough, they must be the exacting same image.

These tropes stew two sides of one coin, so it makes sense in this case. Though, I'd like to see something more creative than "beginner."
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.
Same logic was followed in The Anti-God, I think if you're going to have a guideline regarding dupe images then at least have a caveat explaining they can be very similar between related tropes. Damn guidelines, as flexible as they need to be but as strict as any rule too.
Hi
Locking up.
Essentially duplicates Easier Than Easy in pretty much every way besides the selection being on a different option (and the one for Harder Than Hard is a little nicer qualitywise), felt it's a lot easier to find Hard++ difficulty screens than easy mode ones.
