If A *is* A, it can't also be B, unless of course everything is one, in which case it makes no sense to name A and B.
Let's tighten up here :
If A *is* A, it can't also be B, unless of course they map exactly onto each other, in which case it makes no sense to name separately A and B --- except if A and B are terms from different realms of discourse --- which "truth" and "beauty" (as of a summer's day) certainly are.
