Well, that’s one of my many issues with the principle—it’s practically useless, except in situations that it has to be formulated specifically to avoid. For instance, if you plan to get drunk, you might know that you’ll consider yourself a safe driver while you are (in the future) drunk, but that doesn’t mean you should now consider your future, drunk self a safe driver. Sophisticated statements of Reflection explicitly avoid situations like this.
