To me the difference is saying that one-boxing maximizes utility vs promising to one-box. In the first case there is no decision made or even guaranteed to be made when the time comes. I might even be thinking that I’d two-box, but change my mind at the last instance.
I don’t understand how that’s different from precommitting to one-box.
