To put it another way: The source code is not the value itself. The
string value is created *from* the characters in the source code, and
the sequence of characters in the string value may be different.

When the string value comes from somewhere else, it bypasses this
interpretation of source code — because it's not source code!

String literals exist in your Python source code. They are not the same
thing as the string value itself, and the sequence fo characters may be
different.
