If you look at it in a "Ship of Theseus" sort of way this might be true. For example I have a machine that I built in 2006, Over the years parts here and there have been swapped out to the point that the only original piece is the case. I still think of it as the same machine I built in 2006 even though it most definitely is not.

Of course, the ship and my machine both slowly changed over time where as this machine here would just be swapped out entirely every 2 years.
