This was why neither was able to access SOP Yes, except it was nonetheless similar enough for Solid Snake to successfully fake his death by using Liquid's cadaver as a decoy, something that would have been impossible if it were a precise scanning, that's what I'm going at (and despite what people claim, no, MGS4 did not "retcon" Solid and Liquid being 100% identical, because common sense would indicate that one clone being based on the dominant genes and the other being based on the recessive genes would NOT be 100% identical).
