The root of the problem is, that concepts like "the same thing" are ill defined in every day vocabulary. So, pretty much everyone is confused when asked the above questions.
Will I be the same, even after I forget everything? In fact, I have already forgotten much of the data. And I certainly don't invoke all my existing memories to identify myself as myself.
The basic definitions people have, are flawed.
It would still be nice to show the fly the way out of the bottle instead of saying that it is in one.
