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
