There’s another issue where “P(doom)” can be read either as the probability that a bad outcome will happen, or the probability that a bad outcome is inevitable. I think the former is usually what’s meant, but if “P(doom)” means “the probability that we’re doomed”, then that suggests the latter as a distracting alternative interpretation.
