Maybe it doesn't? Only transfer when you're about to die, I mean. That was the bit of the theory that didn't make sense to me, either. There was no adequately explained reason for the transfer.
Take it from the other angle: by observation, this universe is such that you haven't died yet. Extrapolate.
