Well then what exactly was the question? Explain how a demand for
the name of one and only one city as a answer to a question made
about the future posed to somebody who was only one but was about to
become 2 can make any sense. And try replacing the 4 uses of the
personal pronoun "you" in the short sentence I quote above with
"Stathis Papaioannou".
Personal pronouns simply can't be used in the casual way we do in
everyday life if personal pronoun duplicating machines are
introduced into the mix. Nothing, absolutely positively nothing, has
caused more confusion in this topic than the careless use of
personal pronouns;
Yes, but you are the one mocking, and deleting, all the precisions
added, by forgetting carelessly the 1p, and 3p precisions in the
question and verification procedure, the use of diaries etc.
By going from "he is in two places" to "he will not get a bit of
information", you are the one using careless pronouns or names to
avoid a simple fact mentioned by the two copies: I was unable to
predict in H the city seen when I opened the door.
the fact that contradictions results implies nothing about physics
or mathematics or philosophy but plenty about grammar.
No contradictions ever occurred, and the deeper consequences await in
the next steps of the reasoning, or in the mathematical analysis
(which BTW, expands a lot on the nuances on the pronouns (eight
nuances)).
