Its the same ingredients and the same method, simply switched around a little.
I like it how its pedantic nonsense now I've pointed out holes in your theory, but it was fine whilst you wrote out lines and lines of opinion

Don't be a silly billy.
You have found NO holes in my theory. If you see the baguette reference I covered the instance you just described.
Dunno if its been mentioned, but if you ordered a pizza and the guy turned up at your door with a slice, would you be happy? No.
Stop being ridiculous. Its one sandwich cut into half. 2 bits of bread make a sandwich no matter what you do with it afterwards. Thats the definition of a sandwich; a filling between two slices of bread.

One round of bread = one sandwich = no argument
Cutting them in half begins to make soldiers.

There is no argument that 2 slices of bread with filling constitutes a sandwich.
The crux of the matter is what then happens once you start to slice up said sandwich.
And everyone with sense agrees that you slice a sandwich in half, you end up with 2 sandwiches.
Picture the scenario - you are at a buffet where there is a plate full of sandwiches which have been made by quartering a 2-slice sandwich.
A person asks "how many sandwiches have you eaten?"
Do you divide your answer by 4, or just state the obvious - the number of sandwiches you have eaten. It's simple!!!

A baguette is not a sandwich.
What if you fuse two sandwiches together? Few would deny that it makes one. So, if you cut that one in half again, is it not the case that you get your original two back? If you think not, then either you're denying that there were two initially, or a sandwich has annihilated itself.

It's one sandwich cut in half
Besides you should be using baguette and not slices of bread
If I were to get a 2ft baguette and make a sandwich out of it I'd a) be very greedy b) I'd have one very big sandwich. If you cut it in half you have 2 sandwiches because they are still both very big and big enough to be called one sandwich.
Because you're using sliced bread it's a little different. You're using 2 slices (no idea what "round of bread" is?!) of bread to make 1 sandwich. You then cut it in half, and it's just that 1 sandwich cut in half. It doesn't multiply, it gets divided!

Im still confused as to all of this "round" of bread nonsense.

No mention there of baked good cut into manageable portions.

How you southern lot can argue about sandwiches when you can't even name the fundemental constituent parts is just.........wrong.

If you've never had a two-foot baguette with ten sausages in it, in the space of a fifteen minute tea-break then your a lightweight
Yes I did cut the baguette up after making the sausage monster, but that didn't mean I had more than one sandwich. The monster had been quartered, that's all.

No - you turned them into soldiers.

Huh? You'd have one sandwich with a different filling in each half. You've still used two slices of bread. Honestly, the only problem i see is the buffet example
Heres another question, say you bought for lunch one of those sandwich packs from Marks and Spencers - the big ones with 4 "triangles" in. Later someone asked you what you had for lunch. What would you say? I'd say a sandwich.
