We have NO IDEA what differences make such things unique.

What do you mean by this? Make what things unique? Why do we have to understand the differences to be sure that the outcome is unique?

To pretend it is our gift alone is to be a self-centered piece of shit.

I also think you're a piece of shit, if I may respond directly to this indirect insult; now, can we get back to talking normally?
