contents In this communication we address whether or not there is an equivalence between the kinematical and dynamical descriptions of the spatially flat $Λ$CDM model. We address this by investigating whether an almost $Λ$CDM expansion history ($j(z)\approx1$) corresponds to an almost $Λ$CDM model ($w_{\rm DE}(z)\approx-1$) by considering two particular explicit examples. At least for the cases considered, this turns out not to be the case. Instead, what we find is that an almost $Λ$CDM cosmic evolution rather corresponds to an \emph{almost unified dark fluid model}. Considering that one never gets the exact condition $j(z)=1$ from any cosmographic data sets, this raises further questions on whether the $Λ$CDM model is the best candidate for the standard model of the evolution of the universe.
