Note that the Reversal Test is written with the assumption of consequentialism, where there’s an ideal value for some trait of the universe, whereas the whole point of the trolley problem is that the only problem is deontological, assuming the hypothetical pure example where there are no unintended consequences.
However, the Reversal Test of things like “prevent people from pulling the lever” is still useful if you want to make deontologists question the action/inaction distinction.
