Yes, I agree.
I could quibble with the wording of the part after the last comma. It seems more in line with the spirit of UDT to say that, if an agent's probabilities or utilities "change", then really what happened is that the agent was replaced by a different agent. After all, the "U" in "UDT" stands for "updateless". Agents aren't supposed to update their probabilities or utilities. But this is not a significant point.
