i don't have to. all I need to do is show a single aspect of deference. if one has a modal possibility that the other doesn't, that still counts as a difference proving they don't have the same identity. they don't necessarily need to be property differences to count as a difference. if something is possible for the mind but not the brain, then they are not the same.

I gave my evidence in objection 3.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
