I wish we could start asking the question:  
     "Are the objects of two arcs identical?",
rather than the problematic question:
     "Are the values of two properties equal?" .  

Those sure don't look like the same comparison to me.  Trying to force 
them to be the same (when they are not) seems to me to have gotten us  
into a monotonous rut.  

1+1 = 2
1+1 =/= 2
