I don't understand your comment.
EDIT: Maybe you assumed that I was denigrating your intuitions on decision theory for departing from NDT? If so, that's not the case- substituting for the output of X in various spots turns out to be a good way to avoid the problem of spurious counterfactuals. CDT does this in a very basic way, TDT in a better way.
It's just an argument over word definitions, in any case. You can call what i propose TDT if you wish. I'm just pointing out that Eliezer, being a bright guy outside the field, is precisely the kind of person to make a naive but not stupid decision theory which matches what many people actually use in practice.
I edited my comment while you were replying to it. I don't think we're actually disagreeing on this particular point.
