There are illogical premises. Their being illogical does not mean that they do not exist. Stop.
I'm not contradicting myself, I'm relating to you the specifics of someone -else's- hypothetical....which I do not consider to be even remotely rational. Nevertheless, I am capable of addressing the question posed by that hypothetical rationally, and so are you...you simply -haven't been-.
Stop arguing with me about whether or not the law of identity has to hold. You and I do not disagree, there, for the very last time. That doesn't change the fact, that, in the hypothetical..it doesn't have to hold, and doesn't matter if it -does- hold. It;s not relevant if it doesn't, and it's not sufficient condition if it does....to the proposition that the rules of said hypothetical universe are logical.
