It contradicts nothing. We're not talking about the H-person, you're
complaining that neither the Moscow Man nor the Washington Man could

have made a prediction, and they couldn't because *they didn't exist before
the duplication*
*​*.​

he very definition of "the Moscow Man" is the man who saw Moscow, so if
nobody has see Moscow yet then there is no Moscow Man and so the poor
​fellow​
 can't be expected to be making predictions or doing anything else.

​So will the Helsinki ​Man see* both* cities? I say yes, Bruno says no. Go
