    Yeah, it’s like being related to your family. Most people would consider your relatives to be related to you.

      Are octopus related to octopus? I mean technically they’re 100% related, but also they aren’t related as related implies not being. Depends on your interpretation.

          Ah sorry, the genome of octopus’ mating is only 99.99 something % similar. Not 100%. Rounding reflex.
