关于whereas 的困惑，这个不矛盾吗？

ashlie888

一种说法：

whereas表示对比关系前后句子在形式上不需要完全对等, 例如：In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken in large quantities in order to treat particular maladies。

另一种说法：

Whereas 是连词，表示 然而，鉴于，反之，表比较。看到是比较,就应该考虑比较对象要对等。例如：Whereas the honeybee’s stinger is heavily barbed and cannot be retracted from the skin, the yellow jacket’s stinger is comparatively smooth, and can therefore be pulled out and used again.

问：这两种说法矛盾吗？到底应该怎样使用whereas   ??? 求解？
