"What is the true answer?" is the question I was trying to answer. What question are you trying to answer?
The same.
Ah, wait! By "the answer" in your last sentence (in regards to the answers in each), did you mean the true answer, not your own answer? That would be much more... factually correct, though your second to last sentence still makes it sound like you're counting fictional evidence.
Yes, I meant the true answer. And my point was that if Omega took the correct answer into account when creating the counterfactual, the evidence gained from the counterfactual is not fictional.
Yay! It looks like I've managed to understand you then.
