What were they going to do with it?
From past experience working in insurance companies, my first guess would be:
Creating clones and spreading them throughout the multiverse to run a battery of tests for risk-susceptibility in a spacetime isolation bubble, and then producing a premium inversely proportional to the expected life-profitability of the clones studied. With typos in the stats and compound rounding errors (always rounding upwards).
That sounds fair enough; as long as the premiums are accurate.
You know, I don't even remember? There was nothing remotely plausible that I was going to object to. I just objected on principle to not being told.
