Um, huh?
I don’t enjoy word games, but what does “instead of” mean here?
The one-boxers had a choice between $1m and $1m+1k; the two boxers had a choice between $0 and $1k. The “instead of” refers to their reward if they had done the opposite of what it had already been predicted that they do.
The problem statement is assuming a perfect predictor, though, so that ‘instead of’ clause is mostly noise.
Yeah, it designates the counterfactual; what they didn’t take.
It’s not referring to a possible state of reality.
In which case there aren’t possible states of reality; only exemplified and counterfactual states.
