I've tried saying this in small letters a number of times, and once in the main post The Pascal's Wager Fallacy Fallacy, and people apparently just haven't paid attention, so I'm just going to try shouting it over and over every time somebody makes the same mistake over and over.
Are you sure they are wrong about what constitutes Pascal's mugging, rather than about whether the probability of xrisk is low?
