I think it's possible that these abstract concepts you point to are true while at the same time very definite & clear concepts are also true. SO you could say, like you said that good & evil are of the same substance but they are also entirely different substances, at the same time. So I don't think it's fair to say: "your logic is flawed" but rather you could say you look at things through another logic system. Why sow discord when you are both obviously on the same path?
Let me point out besides all the stuff JP says & all the things in the Bible & stuff, there's even things that people who must have been in the swamp would say. For instance David Bowie in his video "and the next day" said "They know God exists because the devil told them so"
He would know the swamp. For him to let that out does speak loudly that they see them as exact beings as well
I never said good and evil are the same and also different. I said they are the opposing poles of the same thing. What these two concepts are called is karma. There is the negative end and the positive end. Consider it to be like temperature. How hot does it have to get before it’s no longer cold? How cold does it have to get before it’s no longer hot? Some people think 70 degrees is just right, others think is too cold, and some think is still Hot for them.. all depends on what? What climate a person is accustomed to. Evil and good is no different. Is all perception, and what you deem too much of either end of the poles. There are fundamental laws how ever, and universal concepts of right and wrong, but these are vastly different than our human interpretations.

How can their even be positive & negative karma if you consider your argument about it all being a matter of interpretation
Because is cold and hot opposite things? Or is your perspective creating two things? Everything has an opposite side.
