[He takes a bit to think this through. Having a possible logic puzzle put to him makes it easier and easier to disconnect his emotional rejection of this conversation from the question itself, and bury it.]
I would think that applies if it's who someone really is undoing changes made by outside influence, or changing things to fit them. Who someone really is can be buried until sometimes they don't remember.
An outside influence can impose changes that have nothing to do with who someone is. At what point has that change become permanent? At what point can it be reversed? No matter what, it always happened. Even if it's not the same changes as the outside influence intended, I can't see how that event wouldn't affect the person somehow.
Even now, I don't really understand this that well myself. The one you should be asking these things isn't me.
