If you ban something identical to X, it's quite obvious that that means that X isn't banned. It is just other things that are identical to it.

While it might be "obvious" to you it's certainly not true according to formal logic. That was extremely sloppy wording.

"Identical to" is a so-called equivalence relation. And by the reflexivity of equivalence relations, it is symmetric. Which means X is identical to X, for all X

If the law said it banned everything identical to marriage between two people of the same sex, would you interpret that as permitting gay marriage?
