Bruno thinks we can repeat the experiment and compile statistics from it and then compare the number obtained from experiment with the theoretical prediction, but who exactly was the prediction about? If the prediction was about Jason Resch one number is obtained, If the prediction is about the man currently experiencing Helsinki a different number is obtained, If the prediction was about the Moscow Man a third number is obtained, If the prediction was about the Washington Man yet another number is obtained, and if the prediction was about "you" no number at all is obtained because Bruno doesn't know how to give a consistent meaning to the personal pronoun "you".
