The key is that both JC1 and JC2 would feel like they are John Clark. They would both remember walking into the duplicator and then emerging from it, one way or the other, and despite having different thoughts and experiments from one another, both would reject the claim that they are not John Clark. Or Johnclarkian, if you prefer.
Yes, that is the key, what the person feels after the experience. In those duplication experience the person only feel like being unique, and getting some doppelganger. If iterated 64 times, you feel unique, + getting 2^64 - 1 doppelgangers. They all remember Helsinki, but they all have a private and unique history/memory. The majority of them looks random, and even more so when the iteration is extended.
It is hard to understand what is that John Clark fails to understand, if that is the case. His tone and insults makes me suspect that it is not for a rational reason. Only people without arguments feels the need to insult when arguing, like only fake religion use violence to communicate the message.
