Is Object Space Normals the same as Bent Normals Is Blenders normals that are using Object space the same as what other engines/applications refer to as bent normals?

Bent normals are Tangent normals mixed with some Ambient Occulsion in some way, so to me I don't think object space normals are indeed what other refer to as bent normals.

However other posts on here confuse the matter, hinting that they are the same!.

Edit: To give some clarity, bent normal look to be the average of the unoccluded directions.
No its not the same, this is object and tangent normals are related to the direction of the face at 'that' point. One is aligned to the world (object) and the other is aligned to the axis of the mesh (tangent).

Bent normals are as stated (after some research) the average of the unoccluded directions, causing a curve/lip/bend as they rotate.
