Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi
If you've made changes then yes its not equivalent, keep in mind I NEVER open a file for editing unless I intend to edit.
That is what view/more/less are for.

Oh, cool! I didn't know about view, actually... I'd been using vim to poke around in files because I'm familiar with the navigation key commands, and was always keen to make sure not to edit something. But opening as read-only is great!
