I agree, identity doesn't exist really, not in the physical, natural sense of existence...

Which is what the "silly thought experiment" is pointing at. He wouldn't have taken it that far, but the philosopher was trying to make a point in that direction.

Just because you reached such a level of enlightenment without silly thought experiments is no reason to be dismissive of the ladder that takes others to enlightenment. /s
