I wondered about that, too, but I think they are indicating that they typed
the blood in the lab.  There are far more blood factors that can be tested
for than A, B, and Rh.  Those three are the most important for blood
transfusions, but many more factors can be typed for verifying whose blood
is whose.  Yes, both Jacques and Killer Bob may be AB-, but that doesn't
mean all the other factors are the same.

And I'm sure Coop believed Jacques (as do I) when he said he passed out at
the cabin and awoke to find everyone gone.  Therefore, his blood can't be
that which was used to write "Fire, walk with me" on the paper.
