Right! :-D
This is precisely one of the points that I'm going to make in an upcoming post. CDT acts differently when it's in the scenario compared to when ask it to choose the program that will face the scenario. This is what we mean by "reflective instability", and this is what we're alluding to when we say things like "a sufficiently intelligent self-modifying system using CDT to make decisions would self-modify to stop using CDT to make decisions".
(This point will be expanded upon in upcoming posts.)
That's exactly what I was thinking as I wrote my post, but I decided not to bring it up. Your later posts should be interesting, although I don't think I need any convincing here---I already count myself as part of the "we" as far as the concepts you bring up are concerned.
