Not if you follow the protocol, if you reconstruct the W guy 200 years later and the protocol is strictly followed, they'll never meet and that's all what's needed to proceed to this objection... that's all, and the fact that they could meet or not change absolutely nothing. > So they could potentially meet. > The potential meeting changes nothing... the feeling to be yourself does not depend on the possibility to meet a doppelganger... it's utterly absurd to claim otherwise.
