I am trying to understand why/how this comparison gets true? As I know, if there is/are function/s in objects it will never be equal because every time parent renders their references change. Why does this equal?

// _.isEqual comes from lodash
shouldComponentUpdate(nextProps){
   const myQuestion = _.isEqual(nextProps, this.props) // this is getting true and my question for this line
   return !_.isEqual(nextProps, this.props)
}

// this is my props
{ 
    "dispatch": function(){},
    "saveHeaderSettings": function(){},
    "buttonFormat": "absolute",
    "externalUpdateEnable": false,
    "isEditModeAllowed": true,
    "isVisiblePivotView": false,
    "isWorkInSubsetEnabled": false,
    "mode": 0,
    "rowUpdateEnable": false,
    "updateMode": 0,
    "updateModes": {
        "isVisibleCellUpdate": true,
        "isVisibleRowUpdate": true,
        "isVisiblePopupUpdate": true
    }
}

PS: dispatch and saveHeaderSettings methods are coming from Redux's mapDispatchToProps
