Only if it is assumed to be absurd that the counterfactually incorrect
recording  instantiates a conscious moment. Not only is that not obvious, but
also a number of people, including you IIRC, say that the issue of
counterfactual correctness is a side issue, not really relevant.

ISTM it is critical - without resolving that issue, the MGA doesn't
proceed, nor is it clear what it even means if it were to.
