I reject this. If Right-boxing gives the most utility in this specific scenario, then you should Right-box in this specific scenario. Because that’s the scenario that—by construction—is actually happening to you.
In other scenarios, perhaps you should do other things. But in this scenario, Right is the right answer.
And this is the key point. It seems to me impossible to have a decision theory that right-boxes in Bomb but still does as well as FDT does in all other scenarios.
