Lmao okay so... I was under the assumption that typeid.name couldn't be run against just a type and had to be passed a real, living object. Every single example online for seeing if two polymorphic classes were the same type gave the wrong fucking answer, one even suggesting I do some gross hack with stdlib static casts.

Guys, just typeid(sourceObject).name() == typeid(destinationObjectType).name(), how is EVERY Q&A source for C++ this terrible?

It might have been mentioned in the ISO standard docs and in that case I skimmed over it which is my fault.
