I'm not sure what Solomon's Problem means. If I make up a really convincing argument that the king should (or shouldn't) send for another man's wife, and communicate it to the king, am I thus forcing him to "always have been" charismatic or otherwise? How is this conditioning on actions supposed to work? Does adopting a certain decision theory make you retroactively charismatic?

Also I don't understand why the problem is named this way. In the prototypical example from the Bible, king David sends for Uriah's wife Bathsheba, and Solomon is their son. What.
