Clearly this can be manipulative. Most of the "person" is not in what they
bleat about when they open their mouth, it's in what they look like and in
how they behave! This IMO reinforces my strong impression that the self is
independent of the particular instantiation.
It reinforces my impression that consciousness is only a small part of
a person.
