One must revise the everyday concept of personal identity because it isn't even coherent. It's like youre getting mad at him for explaining combustion without reference to phlogiston. He can't use the everyday notion because it is a convenient fiction.
I don't think phlogiston is an everyday concept. The closest continuer concept of personal identity is far from an unsophisticated everyday notion, or a convenient fiction. If you want to revise it to some alternative definition of personal identity that is better suited to your purposes, then you have to do the necessary analytical work.
