That because a rat can remember the past and a rat can use
induction to make a prediction, and most important of all a rat
knows if it's prediction turned out to be correct or not and that
enables the rat to improve its induction process for Mr. Rat's next
prediction. But if Mr. I, who is about to enter a "I" duplicating
chamber, asks the question "Will I see Moscow tomorrow?" the only
answer Mr. I will ever get is "yes and no",
Which will be obviously refuted by the two copies.
and that is not an answer
That is simply the correct answer to the question "where will your
body be reconstituted". Indeed, it is part of the question/protocol.
We know that already in Helsinki.
And it is simply the wrong answer to the question "what do you expect
to live after pushing on the button in Helsinki". the awnswer which
follows from the digital mechanist assumption is simply "I expect to
open a door and see either W or M, but I can' know which one in
particular".

so that was not a question.
