Recording an oops: when I wrote the above I didn’t really understand Newcomb’s Problem. I retract pretty much all of the above comment.
I’m now partway through Gary Drescher’s Good and Real and glad that it’s given me a better handle on Newcomb, and that I can now classify my mistake (in my above description of the “original problem”) as “evidentialist”.
