It's very easy to defend as long as lots and lots of personal
pronouns are used, they're a wonderful dumping ground for sloppy
thinking.

Coherently explain how these 2 cases are equivalent and Terren
Suydam has won the argument and John Clark will change John Clark's
ideas on the subject.

In case #1 Terren Suydam can find only one person who has
the right to be called Terren Suydam, in case #2 Terren
Suydam can find an unlimited number of people who have an equal
right to be called Terren Suydam. How are these 2 cases equivalent
to Terren Suydam? And if that isn't "the first-person
perspective" what is?
That is a 3-1 difference. Explain how that can lead to a 1-difference
(assuming computationalism of course).
