contents We prove that for every tower $\mathcal T$ there are $\aleph_1$-dense $A$ and $B$ so that any ``reasonable" forcing notion $\mathbb{P}$ -- an adjective that includes all known ones -- for making $A$ and $B$ isomorphic will add a pseudointersection for the tower. This shows in particular that $\mathsf{MA}_{\aleph_1}(σ{\rm -centered})$ holds in all known models of $\mathsf{BA}$, which provides intrigue to well known questions of Todorčević and Steprāns-Watson.
