In all honesty, I used to think that way. But I'm beginning to shift into the pseudo-soul mindset, where each person has some kind of set core that doesn't change. I haven't worked out the exact details of where the core ends and 'acquired personality' begins, but at least it allows me to argue against trying to correct criminals rather than just executing them ;-).
