We should keep in mind here that there are two kinds of events, depending on 
the lifetime (as discussed in the paper): transient events and persistent 
events. I believe Christian is more talking about the transient ones, in 
this context the "same" event can be fired multiple times with different 
parameters, but technically they are different instantiations of an event.

You can not *just* change the parameters of a transient event, since also 
there you'll fix them on instantiation (and hence fix the semantics of the 
event) unless very explicitly stated otherwise (like timestamps).
