Sure, i understand the logic behind the question, but i also see a flaw that is
generated from the
choice of object:
A
ship is made of more than just
planks. There are probably a few very large pieces of
wood that run through the
ship that connect
everything together. Trying to remove on of these pieces of wood would cause the rest of the ship to
collapse. So the base frame of the ship could not be
replaced piece-wise.
What if every
node from
E2 was removed and
replaced? Would it still be
E2? What if they were re-pieced together into another E2? Now there is a
mind bender.
