Can Multiple User Profiles Exist for the Same Distinct ID?

Based on the information provided in the knowledge sources, it is not possible to have multiple user profiles for the same distinct ID in Mixpanel. According to the User Profiles documentation, user profiles in Mixpanel are uniquely identified by the distinct ID. The documentation states:"User profiles are joined onto your events based on their Distinct ID (Mixpanel's identifier for a user). This lets you join the events performed by a user with user properties describing them. Thus, it is very important that you use the same Distinct ID for both the events and user profile for the same user."Furthermore, when discussing bulk import of profiles from CSV, the documentation explicitly mentions:"If you import profiles using $distinct_id (or $group_id) values that already exist, those profiles will be updated with the additional profile properties. On the other hand, if you upload a profile that has the same email address or the same name as another existing profile, but a different $distinct_id (or $group_id), you will be uploading duplicates - they will not be combined."This indicates that Mixpanel maintains a one-to-one relationship between distinct IDs and user profiles. If you attempt to create multiple profiles with the same distinct ID, it will result in updating the existing profile rather than creating multiple profiles for that distinct ID.
