If ¬X happened, the result would be missaiming. But since X happens (almost certainly), it aims correctly.
I'm also struggling with the above. The first quote says that with event ¬X "it will NOT want to have the correct y-coordinate outputted". The second says the opposite, the robot WILL output "the y-coordinate of the laser correctly, given ¬X".
Slider was correct - I made a mistake. The correct sentence would have been "This motivation is sufficiently strong that it will not want to have the correct y-coordinate outputted, if the correct x-coordinate were also there), but that got too complicated, so I removed the sentence entirely.
