Reply to comment by TUGrad in TIL that before Lincoln Center could reward David Geffen's $100 Million donation by renaming "Avery Fisher Hall" to "David Geffen Hall", they had to pay the heirs of Fisher - the original donor - $15 million. Geffen's donation has a provision that requires his name to be on the hall "in perpetuity". by AspireAgain

It’s a Theseus boat problem though. Let’s say one separates the building into two parts. Which one is still the Geffen Center? Even if it’s the bigger of the two, just separate it again. Pretty soon, the Geffen Center is just one brick.
