I think an interesting aspect of the discussion has been the emotional button that the discussion has pushed in some. Some have shown quite a bit of anger, close to fury, at having the substantiality of their SI identity brought into question. It may be that SI identity is a particular hot button. If so, that is interesting. It may be, too, that some people are just walking hot buttons. I "know" you to be not very excitable. I am not either. People differ widely in that regard. Perhaps it is not just this issue but a matter or temperament. Or perhaps this issue just brings to mind other issues that are hot buttons for them. I'm not sure that we can clearly attribute the interest in this matter to the importance of SI identity.
