Apr 8, 2016 at 15:52 comment added Robert Furber If we take the groupoid of finite dimensional real Hilbert spaces and linear isomorphisms, these functors are unnaturally isomorphic. But, if we restrict to orthogonal maps instead of linear ones, the inner product provides a natural isomorphism between them.
