I found this sentence, and I kinda understand the meaning and use of も, but I want to understand why it is used twice:
人間{にんげん}もロボットも区別{くべつ}しない
Answer
These types of "why" questions are difficult to answer, but I would say that it was because the repetition makes the phrase sound emphatic both quickly and effectively.
Interestingly enough, this is far from being a Japanese-only phenomenon.
In English, one says "neither A nor B". The "n" sound is repeated.
In French, it is "ni A ni B". Double "n", again.
In Japanese, we just happen to use 「AもBも」. Double "m" for us.
