Agents do take the actions they predict they will take—it seems like a matter of fact to me. However, that’s not the criteria they use as the basis for making their predictions in the first place. I didn’t ever claim it was—such a claim would be very silly.

The agent doesn’t know what action it is going to take. If it did, it would just take the action—not spend time calculating the consequences of its various possible actions.
