To make this post more obvious to people like me and JGWeissman, it would be a good idea to include this in the original post! I came out of this post thinking “Why did I just read that?” and couldn’t figure it out until this response.
Sorry, the omission was due to illusion of transparency on my part. I’d spent so much time thinking about avoiding spurious counterfactuals that I couldn’t imagine other people not seeing that as the most important problem :-)

Now it makes a lot more sense.
