Clearly that's right if you're talking about areal units (of non-zero
dimensions). But if your data relates to mobile objects there's no
logical reason why they couldn't occupy the same location. Think, for
instance, of a time-series of locations of two objects, one of which is
a missile and the other its target.
Or more prosaically, your current GPS location and your destination.
