When they change the name of a sick person as mentioned in the RMA above, he turns into a different person.
The Ben Ish Chai explains that the parable sayers said let’s go to Cheshbon and conquer the city of Sichon. What connection does it have to accounting of our sins? The question is, how can you conquer Sichon when he took over Maov whom you are not suppose to touch? Once he took it over, it became a new entity. Similarly, once we do teshuva we come a new entity.
