Similar to vs like

[qianruS779]

Hi Instructors,

I would like to ask you a question about the usage of similar to vs like. According to the explanation from OG, similar to is imprecise form of comparison.

There are two examples:
Like Jane, I like Pizza. (1)
Similar to Jane, I like Pizza. (2)

I would like to understand why (2) is imprecise form of comparison, and whether "I am similar to Jane in liking Pizza" is more precise in comparison than the form (2)?

Thank you very much In advance

Best regards.
