Irrelevant. You still use it (ASSA) just not by
name.

No, the RSSA is incapable of comparing the measure
of two different people because it denies that measure
means anything except "relative" to one person. The
only type of "third person" events the RSSA can be
used for, are really just events seen by the "same
person" but which don't happen to affect that person's
survival.
In the case the multiple people involved are those
which see various kinds of biological histories.
