That would be one way to look at it. Another would be to put aside the “same person?” question and just answer the “do I intend to work for the benefit of this future person?” question more directly, using the facts about causal connections, personality similarities, etc.
That is admirably concise, correct, and totally on target.
Is the meaning of this statement that it’s a choice whether I consider me-at-different-times to be the same person as me-now?

Ah, thanks!
