True, so the Washington man is not the Moscow man, although both are the Helsinki man.
For some things like the integers H, M and W if H=M and H= W then M=W,
It does work for everything because it's part of the definition of an equivalence relation
that
[X=Y and X=Z]=> Y=Z.
but that does not work for everything, for example a watermelon is green and a pea is
green but a watermelon is not a pea; it doesn't work for personal identity either.
Very poor logic. A watermelon is green doesn't mean watermelon=green. If M=/=W, which I
think is the case, then it cannot be the case that H=M and H=W where "=" denotes an
equivalence relation.
