Read the thread. > Do face recognition identifiers even approach the accuracy of InChI > identifiers? At this point it's the other way around: facial recognition success rates are anywhere between 25% and 95%. How many of the existing molecules can be represented by InChI?

When you have a different analytical engine built on different logic, then you can have your different definition of "unique" in the context of a computer system. As long as you're using a digital computer you're using the same simplistic integers, boolean algebra, and discrete math. That's the objective reality, it won't change no matter how much you can argue faces in universe. Similarly, when you get yourself a different English language, then you can have a different definition of "unique" as an English word. In this version of English, go buy a dictionary. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
