Why, then, do you insist that I pick out one Ah-Chen?

I got the impression that the problem was the opposite. As you've already shown, it's easy to pick one Ah-Chen that's definitely her. The hard part is deciding if an arbitrary being is Ah-Chen. I just decided to pretend that the thought experiment was better-designed and deciding if an arbitrary being was important.
