So it looks like what’s going on is you have estimates for U(cryonics) and U(not cryonics), and structural confusion increases the variance for both these utilities, and Vladimir is saying this doesn’t change the estimate of U(cryonics) - U(not cryonics), and you’re saying it increases P(U(not cryonics) > U(cryonics)) if your estimate of U(cryonics) starts out higher, and both of you are right?

That seems correct to me.
