Jacques, it would help if you referenced the paper by title, so people
could see the context. Even to say "The Multiverse paper" would be
sufficient.
Now, nowhere in this paper, nor in any other, do I discuss the ASSA vs
RSSA business. Both are types of SSAs. For third person events both
ASSA and RSSA are equivalent, and all I discuss in this paper are
third person events. I use the term SSA advisedly.
I would say, dear fellow, that this time you are hoisted!
