This seems to be our primary difference. It appears that you are
counting "types" of objects. If I made six copies of me, I'd count
six humans called Harvey. You would count one state-of-being called
Harvey.
Apparently, I want to save the noun-object called Harvey(1). You
want to save any functional version of Harvey(TM). I seem to be
programmed with a survival meme that wants to save my own skin. You
seem to be programmed with a survival meme that wants to save any
skin of any copy, but it does not have to be your own.
As an example, I want to save my beloved iMac and upgrade it in the
future. You want to throw away your PC and just load your files into
a newer PC.
