The force of the argument "I don't want to be a really big integer" is that "being wireheaded takes away what makes me me, and so I stop being a person I can identify with and become a really big integer". If that were so, the same would apply to anti-wireheading, and Wei Dai's question would apply. If you agree that wireheading is more desirable than anti-wireheading, then this and other arguments that it's not more desirable than any other state don't directly apply.
If we take the alternative reasonable interpretation "takes away almost everything what makes me me", no contradiction appears.
Yes, that makes sense.
I reject this combination of words and maintain my previous position.
