[H]aecceitism leads to trouble in a way that quidditism does not. Suppose we allegedly have two indiscernible worlds that differ haecceitistically: at the place where individual A is in W₁, B is in W₂, and vice versa. We ask: in virtue of what does B rather than A occupy that place in W₂? Because the worlds are indiscernible, it seems we can have no informative answer. We can only say "It just does". That is, we need to invoke the transworld identity of B in W₁ with B in W₂.
