I'm not so sure this is an accurate statement...or maybe I misunderstand 
what you are saying....

For the rpm command the --force option means:
       --force
              Same as using --replacepkgs, --replacefiles, and --oldpackage.
while --nodeps simply means:
       --nodeps
              Don’t do a dependency check before installing or upgrading 
a package.

Both exist and they are not equivalent.  Or maybe that isn't what you 
meant to imply.
