The reframed version gets much of its psychological strength from 1) intuitions that say killing is bad on top of its bad consequences and 2) intuitions that say killing has bad consequences that letting die does not have. You’re taking both of those intuitions as invalid (as you have to for the framing to be equivalent), so you can’t rely on conclusions largely caused by them.
