Stephen Law argues that “you can’t jump in the same river twice” conflates two different definitions of “same.” If two bowling balls are identical, they’re qualitatively the same. If a black bowling ball is painted white, it’s quantitatively the same as when it was black. It’s arbitrary that our language uses the word ”same” for both of these definitions, and if we used a different word for one of those definitions, the fallacy would be obvious.
