I'm sure this isn't SL4, and I'm not part of the coterie arguing that
quantum
differences produce different people (I'm one of the process
heretics), but
I'd say that it seems obvious that even if there were *no* differences
at all
on that day when I was six, I could well be a different person now if
it were
rerun.
