As long as you are always making accurate predictions, does the distinction matter?
Yes, you can make the distinction mathematically precise, as I did in this post (which is the "Slepnev 2011" reference in the OP).
Yes, I understand that, but my question is why does the distinction matter in this context?
Not sure I understand your question... It's provable that the agents behave differently, so there you have a mathy explanation. As for non-mathy explanations, I think the best one is Gary's original description of the ASP problem.
