I remain skeptical because this would imply the orthogonality thesis is almost completely false.
The orthogonality thesis could be (and I think almost certainly is) false with respect to some agent-generating processes (e.g., natural selection) and true with respect to others (e.g. Q-learning).

Do you have any reading to suggest on that topic? I’d be curious to understand that position more :)
