I will say that while I think this article doesn’t give a good treatment of counterfactuals - the “I can offer infinite counterfactuals so counterfactuals aren’t useful” argument is a kind of intellectual nihilism I don’t really buy - I think at its core this article is really just arguing that we should pose forward facing solutions when we encounter bugs, rather than explanations. That proposition seems fine to me.
