When this happens, and the same is made by another but with small modifications to the sentence or choice of words:
I first want to know:
Is this acceptable?
And if so, who must get the points?

I first want to know:
Is this acceptable?

because this wouldn't really be fair?
ideas/experiences of others are welcome. ▲ Collapse

Of course, there are also cases of "further developed" answers, but in my experience these aren't so wide-spread, at least not in my SCs.
I don't think that askers choose randomly in case of similar answers, but "the most helpful" (answer) and the "most helpful answer" (for the asker and his/her *context*, the latter being a very important point) gets the points.
Normally, when 100% identical answers are posted, askers choose the first coming in and I believe that this is more than fair.
