Not at all. I have no problem, as I did explained to you a number of
time.
I asked the helsinki guy what do you expect. He told me: " I am pretty
sure that THE experience that I will live will be "seeing W", or "or
seeing M", and never both. I have no clue which one I will actually
live though".
Then we do the duplication, we reread the definition, and to know "the
" experience lived, well, given that guy has been duplicated, we must
interview all copies, or some sample in case of n-plication with n
great.
So I go Washington, and the guy told me "excellent prediction", it was
indeed one of the two cities, and not both, and I got my promised bit
of information, I wrote W in the diary, confirming my "W v M" vague
but correct.
And then I go to Moscow, to see what was the experience of the version
of the helsinki guy there (as we agreed they are all rightfully
considered as the Helsinki guy, but that follows from computationalism
of course).
And of course, there to, the guy is happy of its prediction.
You only perpetuate your confusion between 3-1 and 1-1. You forget
that by the fact that the 1p have been 3-1 p duplicated explains
entirely why the 1p cannot notice the duplication. For them, they only
got a 3p doppelganger in a far city.
