Yeah, that's Theseus' boat, I think...

I was close. Ship of Theseus...

I'm at least a little proud of remembering that it was Theseus.

I now see you did mention that earlier but somehow I missed it on reading

I did indeed. I was on the ball!

There's a further thought experiment.

What if they'd saved all the discarded boat parts and used those parts to construct a new ship? Would that ship be the Ship of Theseus or would the other one be his ship?

Also, I thought it was a Zeno Paradox, but it is not one of his.

It's almost like, would anybody notice if they sank the Britannic instead of the Titanic and just changed the names.

I guess with the crappy old parts re-assembled the new one would have to be called the new-boat.

I was thinking earlier, if there was a certain old car that you had always really wanted to own and none were available how much would it cost to build a replica with a modern drivetrain and suspension that still looks like the old car
