When something sneezes, is it "trying" to expel germs, "trying" to make achoo noises, or "trying" to get attention? It seems to me that the question simply doesn't make sense unless the thing sneezing is a philosopher, in which case it might just as well decide not to look to its counterfactual behaviors for guidance at all.
I would have thought trying to ensure that the breathing apparatus was clear enough to work acceptably was a higher priority than anything specific to germs.
