A rehash is not a role that is similar to another role. The HM has the same investigative result changing mechanic as the Arsonist, yet the roles are 100% completely different other than that. I mean, I've already stated the points present here, so I 100% agree. Right now, anything that even relates to the concept of another role has a chance to be considered a rehash. In fact, I will go as far as to say that I have once seen a role that only shares a thematic similarity with another role be called a rehash by someone. A rehash is an exact replica, although I would argue that close to exact roles in the same faction may be considered rehashes, such as an exact copy of the Investigator that ignores frames, hexes, or douses.
