Would the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work the same if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?

Would the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work the same if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?

Hi, the  lesson states that 'même si' means 'even if' and 'even though'. There are no example sentences of 'même si' being used in an 'even though' context.

Do I assume that all the 'bien que' ('even though') examples would work equally well if 'même si' was substituted for 'bien que'?

Hi Stewart, 

This lesson is already up for review...

In the meantime, I would use 

even though bien que

even if même si
