Creating a node with .objects.create(id=SOME_ID) overwrite existing node

I don't actually see a reason for creating a Node giving the id,
but definitely it shouldn't overwrite the node.
It's not a real substitution, the previous relationships are still there,
but if the new node is from another class the result is very strange.
(I have a Person with the characteristics of a Shop, for example).

Oh, that is a very strange case. objects.create(id=<SOME ID>) should throw an error, since you can never manually specify a node id in Neo4j. It will need to be a special case.
