If your choice is between X and X… then I guess you pick X.

Okay, which instance of X? If X is a real object, then there is probably still a preference to one or the other; maybe your brain wants you to pick the thing on the right because you are right-handed. Or a random neuron path is slightly shorter and thus faster, winning out.

If X is completely abstract, like a thought, it only comes down to neurons again, but it will be very random.
