"..it's the exact same thing."
This seems like flawed logic. It's not the exact same thing. If a painter reproduces a Picasso, otherwise knows as art fraud, does it have the same value as the original? Why not? I'll leave it at that.
- gowld 8y agoIf you reproduce a Picasso, it's not a Picasso. But if you reproduce a Guernica, it's a Guernica. If you reproduce a diamond, it's not a de Beers, but it's still a diamond.
- redm 8y agoIn the sense that they are both 'diamonds' they are the same thing. In the sense that one was created by the earth, and one was created by man, they are not the same. Just like with the painting, where it came from, its provenance, matters.
