That wasn't the implication I was trying to make. I was saying that if you're used to cooking with cheddar, you don't replace it with parmigiano, and vice versa. They don't serve the same purpose in cooking. If you're cooking carbonara with cheddar, you're obviously going to be disappointed in the result. If you cook a carbonara with grana padano instead of parmigiano, you're like 90% of the way there, and most people won't know the difference. They're not equivalent but they're similar.
