Eliezer seems to be talking about actually winning - e.g.: "Achieving a win is much harder than achieving an expectation of winning".

He's been doing this pretty consistently for a while now - including on his administrator's page on the topic:

"Instrumental rationality: achieving your values."

That is why this discussion is still happening.
