This is a fight between two bald men over a comb, to quote Borges. "identity" != "identity" It is obvious that Pat is using the word "identity" in a different sense than others. Is there a better word that could be used instead? Pat suggested "information", but that's clearly not specific enough. If we don't find a better term, we may have to live with the fact that "identity" has different meanings in different contexts, and this difference should be acknowledged in any write-up about it.
