If I'm reading your humor correctly I think I've fallen into some semantical trap instead of a serious critique. In which case, I will play along.

However, the topic at hand is 'equal' in a decidedly subjective sense. Even if you have two identical hydrogen atoms, they still might differ in some sort of property you may or may not find significant to the concept of equality. Location perhaps? Can any two things be "truly homogeneous" while remaining distinct entities? True object homogeneity was not intended by my use of the term 'equal.' Does that satisfy the concern? :)



It does, thank you. What do you mean by equal in your first assumption? How does that choice impact your conclusion?
