I don’t think this misunderstands schelling points. By creating common knowledge, you can change the schelling point from being one strategy, to being a different strategy. The schelling point at t=0 does not have to be the same as at t=80.
(Or more concretely, Grand Central Station wasn’t a Schelling point in New York before it was built. Before that time, presumably there were different Schelling points.)
I think we can distinguish between humans changing the environment in a way that happens to create a Schelling point, vs communicating to create a coordination strategy.

Wikipedia at least agrees with TAG’s definition.
