And yes both say they are in one place and one place only, but if both also say they are H then which one should be believed, W or M or both or neither? > > The referent of "you" becomes unclear only because you decide to abstract > from the 1-3 distinction, > The referent is unclear to John Clark, Bruno Marchal claims the referent is always clear to Bruno Marchal , i f that were true Bruno Marchal could have ended this debate long ago simply by always using the referent in the thought experiment rather than the personal pronoun, but Bruno Marchal has refused to do that because then the flaws in the logic would be obvious. Those little personal pronouns may be small but they can cover up a multitude of sins, aka sloppy thinking.
