No.

I ask this, since day one, to the H-guy; before he pushes the button.

You are the only one who does not grasp this. But as you show above, you don’t 
even read the posts.

I cannot parse the sentence.

That is simply not the question asked. You eliminate the first person 
experience.

If the H-guy is promise coffee at both place, he can predict clearly that after 
pushing the button he will get some coffee. P(coffee) = 1. And he can predict 
as well that in the two places accessibles, he will drink that coffee feeling 
to be localised in only once city, so, similarly, P(“I will feel to be in one 
city”) = 1.

You put complexity ware there are none, and you dismiss the 1p notion, or the 
fact that the question is about the 1p experience, not about some person is 
from a 3p point of view.
