Do you think that when I arrive in Washington (and Moscow) I can just say to myself "I am no longer Mr. I " with such intensity that I actually believe it ? It simply can't be done. > Both the W-guy and the M-guy get one bit of information > You can't make use of probabilities if you only have one bit of information to work with; the 2 slit experiment would tell you nothing if the only information you had is what happened when one lonely photon went through; you've got to send lots and lots of photons through the slits to learn anything, and the same is true of your thought experiment, it must be repeated many times. And no matter how often it's repeated Mr. You sees Washington AND Mr. You sees Moscow.
