Mmh.... Actually I did compare Nagel's view from nowhere as a 0-person 
point of view (more in the roadmap). But then ok, nice summary of David 
Lyman's view, and I'm glad he thinks so.
I also agree with George's recent post (accepting his theory, which, is 
perhaps compatible with comp, perhaps not, we will see).
