Yes you are right, it does evolve a bit, and probably like me you tune it to the way you store books. For instance I do stuff like strip off "(Omnibus)" since I know that is how I store those types of titles amongst various other things.
One point I did not mention which you brought up again with the find_identical_books comment. One of the common things I find is that the built-in logic that Calibre has at time of import does you no good if the filename was not "close enough" at the time of import. For instance a common thing I miss is to not spot a missing space between the series hyphen and the title. So my title gets imported with a name like "Series X-Title name" which the Calibre logic cannot pick up. Now that is easy to spot in Calibre when you review your newly added books, you fix the title/series up correctly and think job done. However of course that can now result in a duplicate.
My point being that regardless of how much cleverness goes into the "merge" logic, there will always be situations where as the result of an edit you now have a duplicate that only some sort of post-check can pickup, replicating similar and other more extensive checks.
