Something different is seen when an institution accidentally creates a record for an entity already represented by an existing authority record. Sometimes the institution creates identical records one after the other, sometimes the duplication is harder to explain. But when the institution realizes the error, instead of reporting the duplicate for deletion it changes the second record to represent some completely different entity. In this case the linking number is the same but the entity it represents is different.
Is there any good reason to do it that way? Can people just, like, stop? "Doctor, it hurts when I do this..."
