Hi Gabriele,
you have got the right to see it like that. The biggest problem with it is,
that it isn't useful for decribing BLOCK1 and BLOCK2 below:
element: copy []
block1: reduce [element element]
block2: reduce [element copy element]
I would prefer to say, that: "BLOCK1 contains two identical elements".
Another possibility is to say, that: "The values at the first and the second
place of BLOCK1 are identical".
As opposed to that: "BLOCK2 contains two discernible elements", or : "The
values at the first and the second place of BLOCK2 are discernible".
That doesn't mean, that I am saying, that the first and the second place of
BLOCK1 or BLOCK2 are identical. They aren't (see
http://www.rebolforces.com/articles/series.html ).
This terminology looks more useful to me.
Ciao
