No, it doesn’t, if by classical you mean “pseudorandom”. The pseudorandom grenade that sly holds “could” really have killed him, whereas the quantum grenade that he holds never stood any chance of killing the sly that holds it, but it certainly killed his quantum twin who he professes not to care about.
I think you mean “might have”. If the grenade is pseudorandom and it didn’t kill him, it just means that deterministically it couldn’t kill him. It’s perfectly equivalent to a fake grenade that you don’t know is fake.
It can’t kill you (it’s physically impossible for it to explode), but it might kill you (you don’t know that it’s physically impossible etc. etc.).

:-P
Sure. I agree, but for charging someone with attempted murder, it is the “might” that matters.
