Nullify and erase mean the same thing in this context

In the context of words Tobirama is one and the same. Nobody's arguing.

Hiruzen, on the other hand, analyzed another TSB ability - the erase effect, which he compared to Dust Release.

These effects are different if only because Tobirama and Hiruzen's bodies were restored (erase / dust effect was used) and Minato's hand wasn't (cancel / Yin-Yang effect was used).
