Well yeah, but it’s a different question then. If I suggest you should fast for three days so the Sun God will make your crops flourish (or give you a raise, whatever’s applicable), you’re going to refuse. If you know your peers will stone you if you don’t fast, you’re going to accept, even though you still don’t believe in the Sun God.
It is a different question, which is the main feature of it. The problem seems to be to that the Allais Paradox bothers people. By changing the question we can often get more traction than by throwing ourselves relentlessly at something we’re having difficulty accepting.
