There is a mathematical theorum in statistics that proves that no two populatins can ever be identical. So to understand why Im goig to use that consider that al indiivauls are made up os many many facets. and therefore data points and values. It says that it two normal dsitruions are defijne dby their std dev and mean being absolutley identical and you add 1 datum to either standard deviation yu will either change the mean or standard devistion of that distibution so they will no longer be identical. Apply the learning form that to people and it is clear the even if two people appear identical in one test, in the next test where you change the number of observatins you indulge, they will according to their mean and standard deviaiton be different (though maybe no by much). So even people who appear to show the same traits (which are implied by the statement to be in this case identical), closer inspeciton wil reveal that they aren't. I think to the point you are making one of them might actually appear worse, but your post made me think more anout the idea of "all being the same all the mite" is unfair and I have a strange mathematical theorem I know of which proves it.

@Captain It's not about being identical to me, it's about being loyal. I am loyal af but I'm all done with that.

@Tumbleweed Yes there's a clashy between loyalty and freedom that is clearly troublesome. Freedom is indeed a truly troublesome concept in and of itself becasue its easy to show that one persons freedom is always another ones prison.
