I wasn't disagreeing with #5. In fact, I was agreeing that similarities give you at least a reason to remember someone. I just don't know exactly how often things do work out like that in real life.
Sure, that solo that we played actually did happen, and you could easily imagine us turning into deep dark rivals over something like that. (Especially since this guy also goes to my school and plays in three of the same bands as I do.) But how often does that actually happen? I know it doesn't have to be that similar, but the less similar you get, the less likely it is to be a connection. Would you know the other American as well if zie was from a whole different part of the country? If you could only share national similarities but not local stuff?
(I can't resist mentioning that my solo went better than his did.)
