@rop1p This can't really be applied like that. The situation is irrelevent, as both Real and Fake are identical. @slushice1 Why would humans value the real one more? What do you think?

That really depends. What its worth is what we think. It would be worth the same thing for other animals or species but for humans the real would be worth more.

Kinetic bombardment and strategic nuclear weapons do the same thing, but one of them makes the area unlivable. Or something like this. In my opinion, it depends on the situation.

Depends on what it is. Real food is generally better than carefully calculated chemicals, in most opinions, and paintings and stuff the real ones are worth more because they were the original. However if, as the arrows imply, they do more or less the same thing, but in completely different ways, the fake can be more valuable.

Where did you get your profile picture? I assume you made it.

If you understand that, you already know my answer.

The real is just there, a standard. The fake had to reach perfection to not only simulate the real, but to be equal in every aspect (?), thus worthing infinitely more (just a line of thought).

"Is it better to be born good, or overcome evil through great effort?" Considering that the results are equal... Well, this question isn't deep enough to spoil the discussion, it's just a hint.

@Sandwichlizard Dont look too far into it. @lucosite It is not a case of original or fake, but real or fake. It is an important distinction.

also if it is indestinguishable then how do you even know which one to study?
