All true but you didn't mention the most important influence of all, memory.
Although it is hardly a law of nature it is nevertheless true that up to now
different brains always have different memories regardless of genes;
which makes the claim that a twin is the same as a copy totally bogus.

Yes, but by "computer" I don't just mean a box with electronic stuff in it.

they can't be the same computer. That's the great thing about computers,
they're so easy to change, it just takes one line of code.
