I’m not sure how the population-based phrasing changes things. Note that I didn’t specify whether the decider is part of that population.
And I don’t think it even matters whether “I” am part of the population: if I prefer A to B for myself, I should also prefer A to B for others, regardless of how differently I weight my welfare vs. their welfare.

You’re right, for some reason I thought the decider was part of the population.
I’ve also updated towards choosing torture if I were part of that population.
