Point taken, but I forgot to mention that the Omega scenarios are also meant to explain why we might feel that the great filter being late is worse news than the great filter being early: an actual human, faced with the decision in scenario 2, might be tempted to choose the early filter.

I'll try to revise the post to make all this clearer. Thanks.
