Similarity is distributional, not a dictionary synonym label. High similarity can occur between antonyms because they occupy similar contextual environments.

Seeds are WordNet antonyms, ranked by embedding geometry. Opposition is never inferred from cosine distance alone: antonyms sit close, not far.
