A clutter is identically self-blocking if it is equal to its blocker. We prove that every identically self-blocking clutter different from is nonideal. Our proofs borrow tools from Gauge Duality and Quadratic Programming. Along the way we provide a new lower bound for the packing number of an arbitrary clutter.
