The simple example is, if I look at a complicated urban landscape and say, "That building over there is the same as this building over here." If that's true, all I am saying is that one building is the same as itself, so that is necessary, but I can't know without going to check.

Not relevant to that example (which is cherry-picked to avoid complications). The idea is that when I point and say 'that' or 'this', those are literal pointers in the CS sense which have no meaning beyond pointing to the thing they point to, so....

if I happen to have pointed to the same thing twice, all I am saying is that one thing is the same as itself.
