Yeah that looked like a typo (the exact opposite of what they meant to say)

  > AFAIK equals() test for equality not identity in Java. In an ideal world, == would test for equality. In a worse world, equals() would test for equality. But we live in a Java world: Equals() is predefined as an identity check on Objects, and it's up invididual implementations to override that check with something better.

    Arguably, equality has no default, meaningful implementation. Object identity is a good default, while data-like objects=records should have the trivial equality in place. But a connection is not equal to any other, even if their internal state is equivalent.

        Is a good fallback, might have been better wording on my part.
