Regarding a coin, if the best we could say is "after the coin fell and everybody observed how it landed it turned out it fell heads or tails with a probability of 1/2" then the very concept of probability would be utterly meaningless. But we can do better than that, much better, we can say "it turned out that after the coin was flipped in landed heads with 100% certainty" with no need to add and any ifs ands or buts whatsoever. That's because "how will the coin land after it is flipped?" is a real question with a real answer, but "what one city and only one city will I see after I am no longer one but have become two?" is not a question and thus it obviously has no answer , not today not tomorrow not ever.
