First, a[1] and b[1] aren't views, they're scalars.

Second, different views on the same data are different objects, they just
share the same underlying data. Consider the case where the slice doesn't
cover the entire range:

> a = np.array([1,2,3])
> b = a[:2]
> a
array([1, 2, 3])
> b
array([1, 2])

139682716078288

139682716078368
> b[0] = 99
> a
array([99,  2,  3])
> b
array([99,  2])

The case where a slice *does* cover the entire range isn't special; the
resulting view is still a different object.
