But this is a correct characterization of what TDT does. It extends applicability of CDT from action-determined to decision-determined problems.

But CDT already gives well-defined answers to decision-determined problems such as Newcomb's problem. They're just not necessarily the right answers.

By "applies", I mean "yields an output, which supporters claim is correct", not "yields a correct output".
