That suggests a question.
If I flip a fair coin, and it comes up heads, what is the probability of that coin flip, which I already made, having instead been tails? (Approximately) 0, because we've already seen that the coin didn't come up tails, or (approximately) 50%, because it's a fair coin and we have no way of knowing the outcome in advance?
If you define "probability" as something that exists in a mind then it's perfectly reasonable that you_then.prob != you_now.prob.
If you're defining "probability" in some other way, please explain what you mean.
