Anonymouss this correct?
It doesn't look like what it seems.I'd say this is incorrect from a semantic point of view.
"What does it look like?" "What does it seem to be?" These expressions both ask us for our impression of something.
You'd be saying in effect, "It doesn't look like what it looks like."
