In my opinion the original post (barring the later comment by the author) does not imply that Q is the same in the real world and in the counterfactual world. Am I wrong here?

I have been assuming that Q is the same complicated formula in both worlds.

Of course it is the same formula. And it is the same calculator as well.

This is correct. Clarified in the post.
