Because when talking about the future AFTER going through a "I"
duplicating machine the personal pronoun "I" becomes
ambiguous. Nobody can make the prediction because nobody knows what
is suposed to be predicted.
'I" is an indexical. It is the d'd' in d'd' = F(d'd'), if you have
look at some of my explanation how how to define indexical notions in
arithmetic. It referes to the person interviwed locally. The point is
that when I ask the M-man (resp. the W-man) if his prediction was
correct, he has to look at his diary (written in Helsinki, and
duplicated with him), and compare it with what he sees. Ig the diary
contains "W and M" it contradicts the experience lived by both. If it
contains "W" (resp M), it contradicts half of the experiences, and if
it contained W v M" it is a success for both.

I've already answered that, no I don't agree. I have no reason to
believe you will keep your promise about the tea
Given that the promise is part of the protocol, here, this is again a
change of the protocol. You can't reason like that. It is not valid.
and I expect it is far more likely I will see Santa Claus's
workshop than any tea. However I still don't understand why you're
more interested in my expectations than the nature of reality.
Move on step 4, and sequitur. You will be enlightened.
