I think Kevin Ford is referring to a case of distinction without a
difference rather than uncertain sameness. The point is not that the
paperback and the hardcover are the same, but that their differences
don't require separate descriptive records in the catalog. The
cataloged entity includes both, despite their differences.

To reorient Kevin's example, suppose after a catalog record with LCCN
is created, a publisher creates separate records identified by ISBN
for the hardcover and the paperback. Having the LCCN on both of the
publisher's records would mean that both could be retrieved by LCCN,
and both could provide supplemental data to the LCCN description. So
my answer to Kevin's question would be "both, in order to enable more
comprehensive data gathering about aspects of the entity described by
the LCCN."
