The case where they are allowed to diverge, but the environment they are in is such that none of the copies end up being “messed up”, e.g. zero probability of becoming a tramp, drug addict, etc, seems more interesting.
In my response to the poll, I took the word “identical” to mean that no divergence was possible (and thus, per Kingreaper and Morendil, the copy was of no value to me) . If divergence were possible, then my poll responses would be different.
Consider both cases.
