Yes, this is what I was trying to say. I see how the phrase "conditionality of the reward on your assessed probability" could describe Pascal's Wager, but not how it could describe Pascal's Mugging.
The mugging is defined as having conditionality; just read Bostrom's paper or Baumann's reply! That Eliezer did not explicitly state the mugger's simple algorithm, but instead implied it in his discussion of complexity and size of numbers, does not obviate this point.
