That example served to show, by existence of an obvious exception,
that physical/functional similarity can not be used to determine
personal identity as a general rule. As you must know, but choose to
ignore, it takes only one exception to invalidate a rule. It served
its purpose. It is misleading, logically false, and a waste of time
for you to now point out possible exceptions to the exception.
