Identical skills argument

Identical structure and functioning in another body over a designated period will or can produce evidence that the two have identical skills over this period of time. For example, if the original speaks a foreign language, like french, over this period of time, the cidentireplica of this original will speak french exactly the same. If the original did either a good to bad job of it the cidentireplica will produce the exact same performance. The cidentireplica and the original can diverge in their structure and functioning at any time. Usually this divergence in language skills will be rather slow so the cidentireplica or original will not loose or gain on these language skills, relative to each, other rapidly. If one or the other got into an accident or other event that changed their body structure and functioning relative to the other body a lot, their skill level might change in relationship to each other rapidly as one's body looses or decreases in it ability to perform a skill.

The identical skills argument is part of the science of superimmortality principle that bodies that produce identical structure and functioning will produce identical behavior and that identical behavior gives evidence that these bodies are producing identical consciousnesses. The identical skills argument is falsifiable because
