I was careful to avoid endorsing any conclusion in the post in order to foment discussion. If we add in my own position (that paying up is winning), the point is that the conception of winning that only cares about actuality is wrong. This does rest on the possibility of the unfortunate interpretation of winning as only caring about actuality, and therefore suggesting that we shouldn't pay, though saying that I was pointing that out seems like a stretch. So maybe it's kinda correct to say that I was pointing it out, but seriously misleading, to the point where it misled even me...
I'm not familiar with this position. Citation needed?
I'd guess that line was referencing this:
