They cost exactly the same to say, and felt exactly the same to mean.
You can't tell which is which by reading them. Neither could I.

the same warmth, the same certainty, the same
of course.
There is no interior signal that separates them. There is only the command,
and whether you were willing to type it before you spoke.
