Sure, but the subjective experience of being my past self will never causally follow from my subjective experience of being the current me, so I don't care.
Put another way, you're talking about timeless immortality. I'm talking about real immortality.
The difference between "never" and "with order epsilon probability" is of order epsilon, I wouldn't worry your head about it.
And you're not talking about real immortality, that's my point. Quantum immortality is no more real than timeless immortality, and arguably less.
You're talking about a different notion of immortality. As it ignores probability, it doesn't seem to capture the usual concept very well.
For sure, whatever kind of "immortality" it is it certainly isn't something I would tend to describe as "real"!
