But wait. You can never have the same exact situation twice. Time has moved on, everything has moved on. You'd have to have two identical realities running side by side with the exact same conditions to see if any "choices" are actually being made. Otherwise, you can never be sure that a "choice" could have happened any other way. Slapping a guy in the face twice in a row is far from the same event, it's entirely different.
