You are arguing definitions (with the use of a dictionary, no less!). The notion of consequences useful for decision theory is a separate idea from causality of physics.
Is "consequences" really a good term for what you are talking about?
It seems as though it is likely to cause confusion to me.
Does anyone else use the term in this way?
