I agree so much with you on this!
Although the question is not silly when asked to the Helsinki guy
before his duplication, as he will live, assuming computationalism,
two different first person continuations.
Each of them is consistent with being the Helsinki guy, but are first
person inconsistent when taken together, as in this precise protocol,
computationalism makes the two copies into independent individual
persons.
(No diary contains a description of the first person (conscious or
not) experience:
"I (here and now) saw directly, after opening the door the two
cities").
As both copies are genuine survivors, we listen to them both, and both
told us that they got a non predictable bit of information: W or M
among {W, M}. With principle 1 and 2, it follows that the guy in
Helsinki was in a first person indeterminacy situation, and that
precise protocol suggests P(W) = P(M) = 1/2. Indeed its iteration
leads naturally to Pascal Triangle and the Gaussian curve as the
number of duplication is iterated.
I recall the main tip that you seem to forget all the time: to get the
first person records, listen to your copies.
