That distinction doesn't even come in to it, though. Take the analogy with the thought experiment from Aaronson's description: A coin is flipped. If heads, two rooms are created: one with a red-haired person, and one with a green-haired person. If tails, one room is created with a red-haired person. The analogy is that the coin is the coin, heads means "wake up in 100 years", tails means "wake up in 1 year", red-haired is the person who goes in in 2020, and green-haired is the person who goes in in 2119. However, unlike Aaronson's interesting experiment, in the Nautilus article experiment you know beforehand that you have red hair and will continue to have red hair regardless of which way the coin goes. The year you were frozen is known; you know your name; you know the year you entered. The interesting question doesn't even arise.
