Please clarify the meanings of the two sentences. Is the two have the same illogical meaning, i.e. they compare stories with a person?

(1) Rather than Sam, stories of John are more likely to be true.

(2) Stories of John, rather than Sam, are more likely to be true.

*I made up the two sentences that resemble choice C and E in question 108 of OG 13. Since the explanation does not mention the issue, i.e. illogical comparison, in choice C but in choice E, so I am not sure whether C have the same issue.

Thank you.

Both the sentences compare the stories of John with Sam. Both are obviously incorrect.
