Spoiler with a question.

prop1 does not equate to “prop1” in my brain, is there a reason why it is explained this way that gets around identity property (a=a)? Earlier this is clearer and specifically addressed as a distinction. Here it just seems assumed… is there a reason why?

edit:
“Note that we do not use quotes around the variable name when using it to access the property because we are using the value of the variable, not the name” -FCC (2 challenges later)
