Ugly duckling theorem
The Ugly Duckling Theorem is an argument demonstrating that classification is impossible without some sort of bias. It is named for Hans Christian Andersen's famous story of The Ugly Duckling, because it shows that, all things being equal, an ugly duckling is just as similar to a swan as two swans are to each other.
