I think it's mad though to call one cinnamon the true cinnamon, and call the other "not true" cinnamon

 

 

Why mad? It is simple truth. What is sold as cinnamon in much of the world is not cinnamon, a specific species. Therefore 'not true'.

 

They are different species; taste diffferent; smell different; have different monetary value.
