Two kinds of sameness

"The same" can mean exactly alike - two things with the same properties - or the same one: one thing, not two. Two mugs can be exactly alike and still be two; one apple can change and still be the same one; the Morning Star and the Evening Star turned out to be one planet, Venus.
