No, the comparison |12| > |−13| is not the same as 12 > −13.
The expression |12| represents the absolute value of 12, which is equal to 12.
Similarly, the expression |−13| represents the absolute value of -13, which is also equal to 13.
So, the comparison |12| > |−13| is equivalent to 12 > 13.
Therefore, the two comparisons are different as 12 is not greater than 13.
