Again, we already have Toronto for spinning and strawman arguing. We don't need another. As for your assertion, you're wrong. Accent and dialect are related, but not the same thing by any means. That's like saying an engine and a care are basically the same thing. No.
From a language teaching website, Duolingo:
Accent refers to pronunciation. Dialect refers to a whole group of language features, including pronunciation, but also differences in vocabulary, grammar, and how the language gets used (like the rules of what counts as polite).
