Claim ID
smoking-lesion
Assertion
The smoking lesion case is a standard counterexample to EDT: a gene causes both the desire to smoke and cancer, so refraining from smoking is 'good news' under EDT (it correlates with not having the gene), yet the agent's decision has no causal effect on whether they have the gene.
