Bear,

I'll admit to not have a strong knowledge of how either sweetened condensed
milk or evaporated milk are made.

What I can say though is that the differences in texture, taste and use are
so different that it is hard to imagine them as being of the same process.

In a way, while not a wildly matching analogy, I would think of it as a
reduced brown stock vs a demi-glace.  Products starting from the same
place, done with somewhat similar process, with completely different usage.

OTOH, I get easily confused nowadays ;-)
