I agree. I think the flip-side is the temptation to claim the alternate goal is repressed but still feel disappointed when your alternate history of the Cold War ends with similar results. When I think of “alternate” I think “drastically different” not “minor details changed.” But that is probably easier to dodge than pushing the result you want.
