I feel like we are talking past each other. Are you saying that 2 entities cannot assert the same thing? Because that does not mirror reality. My understanding of the attestation spec above is that an attestation only can apply to 1 assertion, but if there are 2 assertions that are the same, how would that be handled, considering that a user attesting to the fact that the sky is blue isn't relevant whether God or the devil made that assertion.

Yeah, entities can make the same broad Assertion - the sky is blue. I guess we could look at the hash of a subset of tags of a well-specified Assertion event to determine if it was the same? Attestations basically amplify/dampen the views of a given entity as there is no base 'truth' - that is emergent and subjective. The place example is a special case in that it is the *combination* of Place event content *and* npub we are interested in as we are seeking to link cyberspace ownership (nsec/npub) with meatspace ownership (physical address). You should join the #wotathon calls by @nosfabrica!
