BINGO, which means our positions have the possibility of shifting, and really have nothing to do with our blood or genes.

Positions are what we hold, actions are what we do, but what has never changed is that regardless of the positions we hold or the actions we do, we are not a separate species.

But why does an 'I am' statement need to have ANYTHING to do with blood or genes?  Unless your 'I am' is followed by a species identification, it's bloody silly to attempt to restrict it to that.  Again, it doesn't indicate a permanent state.  If I say, 'I am 49 years old' [sod you, IWNKAAIMI], no one is going to conclude that I have always been that age, or that I will always be that age.
