Now by this assessment, are some continuers closer than other? Is a 99.9555 % 
continuer of say, Bruce, although not as perfect as the 100% Bruce of the 21st 
century?? "Sorry about that freckles on the back on your testicles, gone 
missing, Mr. K, but all in, how well would you rate our service? By the way, 
Professor Bruno, still feels that the Identity of Discernibles, even after 
arguing it with Doctor  Leibniz (one of our satisfied customers!), regarding  
the Closest Continuer, and I hear that they have agreed to move on to other 
topics."
Remember this axiom from the US: Good enough for government work.

Closest continuer theory Is a remarkably silly theory even for philosophers, 
and that's saying something!


It is indeed inconsistent with Indexical Digital Mechanism (YD + CT, if you 
remember). We can’t believe in both Darwin, and the closest continuer theory.
But it might be consistent with non-mechanism, to be sure.
