The 5 and 10 problem is basically what happens when your agent asks "what are the logical implications if 5 is chosen?" rather than "If we do causal surgery such that 5 is chosen, what's the utility?"
There are other ways to avoid the 5 and 10 problem, but I think they're less general than using causality.
