The question is why does​ Bruno Marchal​ absolutely insist​​ on using personal pronouns even when duplication machines makes them so obviously ambiguous?

I don't see any ambiguity given that we have agreed that "you" meant, in the 3p, the guy who remember Helsinki. And yes, in the 3p, you are in W and you are in M. But in the 1p you can only be in W or in M.

All possible ambiguities, using name or pronoun, disappear when you take the 1-3 difference into account. What you call the ambiguity becomes the indetermination, once you keep the 1-3 difference in mind. That is what we try to explain to you, but you reply usually to this with insult, which are not valid as argument (if that needs to be made precise);



> what do expect to write in your personal diary

To complete the experiment after the duplication​ Bruno Marchal needs to find the person, the one unique person, who wrote all that stuff in the diary.

Er... ? You forget that the guy has been duplicated, so to know the results, I need to interview the two copies which are unique in each city. That has been explained a lot already. And both confirm that P(W v M) = 1 was the good bet, and, obviously, that P(W & M) = 1 was wrong.

How does
Bruno Marchal​ intend to do that?
