Steve Tyler and Mick Jagger might be YB-190s.
About 500 model numbers that basically cover all of humanity to the nearest set of metrics that 500 model types could discern between.
The example given is three quarterbacks who are very rich and talented, about the same height and musculature, similar
skin tone and I think they all have the same hair color.
Taken into consideration would be Height, IQ, athletic ability, facial features, hair color etc. Since model numbers would not change with age, income or vocation would not be applicable. Uh oh, that sounds a little "master racey" so I'll point out that there's no quality judgment being rendered here, only people being cataloged by their features. Speaking of which, facial features could be measured against their deviation from the "golden ratio" which is a measurement of beauty that works across all races.
The catalog would start with one person putting up their model number with a computer program that would allow you to put your specifics into the data base where you would either be told you're an XP-76 like the first person or you're a new human model. So if you looked like the first guy, but were two inches taller, perhaps you'd be assigned the first designated XP-77 model number.
Would make dating a whole lot easier. "I only go for QT-107s but might consider 108s with a reaaaally good sense of humor or a lot of money. A QT-109 would have to be monarch of a small country to get a callback."
Gotta point out, this would be TOTALLY voluntary. I'd be curious to see others that were similar to me, wouldn't you?
I've got a feeling this is going to get boned into the stoneage.

Does it make product recall easier? |

Model QT-109 is hazardous to health. It contains extreme
narcissism, delusion of grandeur, and random bout of
spontaneous violence. |

I don't know why I like this idea. I think it's the thought that there are others out there that are so similar to you that they could be classified as the same model number. It's comforting or something. I know I seem to form an instant affiliation with people who have the same first name as me. It's totally ridiculous, except that starting things off by saying "Hey! Awesome name! That's my name too!" gets relationships off to a good start. |

I know that, human nature being what it is, there'd be an instant bond between people of the same model number, logical or not, it's just the way we're wired. |

Or instant hatred, like how some of the girls I knew in high
school got mad at each other for accidentally wearing the
same <article of clothing>. |

Yea, it could backfire. "In other news, Epsilon Delta
7000s declare all out war on "inferior" 6000 models." |

I live by the school in Palo Alto where they did the
social experiment in the 70s where they divided
people into two groups, gave the groups names,
logos, specific clothing and just watched what
happened. Well, they all got along great. Oh wait,
the other thing. All out war. |

I'll have to go back and look up the specifics, but
what I remember is the students very quickly became
antagonistic with members of the opposite group. |
|
| |
Come to think of it though, in relating this story it's
got a bit of an apocryphal scent to it. I'll go back and
look up the details. There's a good chance the
students just started doing what they thought the
teachers wanted them to do. |

[+] . If they doubled as one's official name the problem of
having an official name which isn't Amanda would have been
solved. |
