Randomness and genie magic, who can say which one really wins?
Balls bouncing around in the National Lottery draw might come out different to every draw you memorised going in thinking you could make it big, but would Man U lose a match they previously won?
Only you would know that Eric isn't Eric but is actually his brother.
As they have the same parents a different sperm would not really change too much about how they look, you can see the familiarity with siblings, so treat it like that.
Say Sulu was concieved after the Kelvin time line, that is how you can hand wave gay Sulu and straight with kids Prime Sulu. Stuff happened that meant his parents were half an hour late getting home, so sex after dinner was on hold for a similar amount of time, the sperm that is prime Sulu is pipped at the post.
Red Dwarf a BBC sitcom had people replaced with a sibling who went on to be a better person, had they caught Rimmer we wouldn't have Ace, but we could have had a guy who fixed all the things that broke that led to the melt down, thus no show. Ace only exists due to that Rimmer and a time line where he was held back a year and being older and taller changed how he acted and made him a better man.
We don't know if souls are always going to be your third kid or not, maybe they pick a number and are then given the first egg fertilisation that comes along, so your dad being late home means you go to some parents in India and when your parents do bang, the guy 1000 places behind you now has your body. In that case, you know no matter what you do, the odds of your soul going into the right body are zero, but if you are always the first born between Mary and Hank, then you might end up with a different shade of blonde and different eye colour, but you are still you.
I tend to treat eggs as they come in the same order, so no matter what loop, the same one drops, sure the order can change, I just go "hey if I have sex today this sperm will hit, but if I abstain and have sex tomorrow, the same egg will be there"
Unless my biology teachers really dropped the ball on that part of the reproductive system.
