It's hardly unheard of for two people to shoot their wives in the same city on the same day. That's pretty strong evidence that they are the same person, but it is far from 100%.>> --------------------- You trivialize the example by ignoring it's completeness. He didn't just shoot his wife. As contributors we have to be able to recognize when two things are the same thing. That is part of our discernment. The identity equation is a trivial observation. It's the most trivial we can make.
