Seems like a perfectly logical question to me. I can't imagine why they didn't understand it. I spent years obsessed with the question of "Why do I do the things I do?" and even underwent a battery of personality and psychological tests with that as my reason for being there. A rather non-specific question I guess and one I never got completely answered, although little by little in therapy I am gaining a bit of understanding.
I don't actually have alters and I don't switch, I've just dissociated my rational self from my feeling self, so that my neurological state and electrical activity or chemical activity or whatever is pretty constant. Would you think it probably depends a lot on co-consciousness?
