This is my personal opinion, though I do not expect everyone to agree. I would go further and say that its connection to real situations is too tenuous to be valuable- many impossible scenarios are worth thinking about because they closely approximate real scenarios. The previous sentence- that any one explanation of why two-boxing or one-boxing is correct fails to understand why it's a problem- is something I expect everyone should agree with.
Well, then we have a bigger disagreement at stake. Also:
You switched the quantifier on my question, and your version is much stronger than anything I'd agree to, much less expect to be uncontroversial.
