The prediction "W and M" lost John Clark has no idea what the prediction would be if Bruno Marchal were the Helsinki Man, but if it were John Clark the prediction would be the following: " I John Clark currently living in Helsinki predict that after John Clark steps into the duplicating chamber John Clark will see Moscow AND Washington" And after John Clark stepped into the duplicating chamber a document is obtained from a man in Moscow saying "I John Clark see Moscow" AND a document is obtained from a man in Washington saying "I John Clark see Washington". And so it is logical to conclude that the prediction John Clark made in Helsinki turned out to be correct; not that predictions, correct or incorrect, have anything to do with personal identity.
