Stata wouldn't do weights. Are there other strategies that
I can employ??
The problem is that Stata does not like explicit indexing on the
left-hand side. I think that what you want is something like

replace weirdob=1 if /*
*/ (original[`i']==fake[`j'] & original[`j']==fake[`i']) in `i'

If you have a lot of observations you better prepare for some waiting ...
