  :( Things can have similarities without being the same. Also not being unique is not a moral failure. I think I am failing to understand your stance.

    Saying the pattern is the same isn't the same as saying two things fitting the pattern are the same in every respect. Patterns are necessarily reductionist, like any sort of comparison of things that aren't 100% similar. There is value in recognizing patterns. They're useful for comprehension and memory.
