It's all basically the same thing
-After so long a discourse on the X theory and the Y theory, we know that it's all the same thing/they are all the same thing.
Are they both correct? If not, what are the rules we have to follow in using 'it' when talking about more than one thing?(Meanwhile I will try to hunt down more examples of this kind) |

They instead of it's all is preferred because you are comparing only two things.

p.175 -[...]to try to shut your head off so you can hit the rack at 0130 and get up at 0600 and do it all again. 1. He is talking about a whole bunch of things; why it not them? 2. What does hit the rack mean? I know hit the road, hit the pool, etc. but not that. |

There are many slang ways to say "go to bed/go to sleep".
The word "rack" has many slang meanings, including "bed"; this meaning is common in US military slang, especially the Navy and Marine Corps when referring to beds on board naval ships. Similarly, "rack time" refers to "sleeping" and/or to the period when individual crew members are off-duty and able to sleep, and "to rack out" is "to sleep" or "to go to sleep". |
