Agreed. Tentatively renamed.
And 'alternative' should be used for any number of choices, provided they're mutually exclusive. I must, however, take issue with your usage of 'terrorist'.
For maximum pedanticness, an alternative is one of two or more time-identical, agent-identical actions or sets of actions that the agent in question is able to perform. An alternative set is the complete list of all alternatives available to a given agent for a given span of time.
Btw, weren't you going to quote me on Allais-type paradoxes? :-(
Terrorist remark rewritten ;-)
