Conceptual confusion between Aggregates and Owned Entities

[mvelosop]

Hi,

The second paragraph states that:
> Owned entities... ... are conceptually similar to aggregates.

But... Owned entities are the way to implement Value Objects, because they don't have an identity of their own, while Aggregates do have an identity, as a part of their key fundamentals.

So they're actually completely different, by large.
