The Counterfactual Mugging previously discussed involved probabilities over mathematical facts, e.g. the value, in binary, of the nth digit of pi. If that digit does turn out to be a 0, the counterfactual mugging pays off only in a mathematically impossible structures.
Which seems to be no more impossible than normal counterfactuals, just more explicitly so.
