XOR Blackmail isn’t exactly correct as a term either
It’s a correct description of the meaning of the salient incorrect understanding of the problem that it’s meant to elicit, and that a better understanding of the problem is meant to address. The meaning of “blackmail” could be said to be the whole reason for the problem’s existence. “Pay me, or else I’m using magical ontological powers to infest your house with termites!” is the blackmail framing. The interesting thing is figuring out what’s wrong with this framing, the framing correctly described with the word “blackmail”.
(There’s a narrower sense of “blackmail” that doesn’t include extortion where the threat is not about exposing a secret, but that is a separate issue from the correctness/incorrectness interplay I’m talking about here. So “XOR Extortion” might be more accurate to the meaning of words, while maintaining the correctness/incorrectness divide. I’m less sure about “XOR Demand”, as it’s not as specific. I’d rule in favor of status quo, it’s easier to find old discussion if you just keep the traditional name.)
