How useful is it to clarify EDT until it becomes some decision theory with a different, previously determined name?
It would be useful for my mental organization of how decision theory works. I don't know if it would be useful to anyone else though.
I don't much care what we call the thing, but exploring the logical relations between conventional EDT and other anti-CDT options could be extremely useful for persuading EDTists to adopt TDT, UDT, or some other novel theory. Framing matters even for academics.
