Which doesn't address what I said! This is not a
case of multiple observers, sharing the same history,
comparing the effective probabilities of "third
person" events. It's case of multple observers, not
sharing the same history, estimating the effective
probability of being the sort of person who is *born
into* various types of biological/historical situations.
