There is a great divide in the bedeviling pedantry of law, the between things that are the ''same'' but somehow, over a period of time, ''different'', and things that are ''different'' but nonetheless at a given point in time, precisely the same. [[Amend]]ment describes that first class; [[fungibility]] the second. | There is a great divide in the bedeviling pedantry of law, the between things that are the ''same'' but somehow, over a period of time, ''different'', and things that are ''different'' but nonetheless at a given point in time, precisely the same.
