I don't follow. Isn't it precisely on the meta-strategy level that CDT becomes obviously irrational?
I think what RobinZ means is that you want to choose a strategy such that having that strategy will causally yield nice things. Given that criterion, object-level CDT fails; but one uses a causal consideration to reject it.
