It is a reason not to transcend if you are not sure that you'll still be you afterwards, i.e. keep your goals and values. I just wanted to point out that the argument runs both directions. It is an argument for the fragility of values and therefore the dangers of fooming but also an argument for the difficulty that could be associated with radically transforming yourself.
