Yeah, entities can make the same broad Assertion - the sky is blue.
I guess we could look at the hash of a subset of tags of a well-specified Assertion event to determine if it was the same?
Attestations basically amplify/dampen the views of a given entity as there is no base 'truth' - that is emergent and subjective.
The place example is a special case in that it is the *combination* of Place event content *and* npub we are interested in as we are seeking to link cyberspace ownership (nsec/npub) with meatspace ownership (physical address).
