In fact, in the example I gave, I fully specified everything needed for each decision theory to output an answer—I gave a causal model to CDT (because I gave the graph under standard interventionist semantics), and a joint distribution over all observable variables to EDT (infinite sample size!). I just wanted someone to give me the right answer using EDT (and explain how they got it).
EDT is not allowed to refer to causal concepts like “confounder” or “causal effect” when making a decision (otherwise it is not EDT).
