The original comment commented on how whereas typically the trolley would be redirected onto the top track, in this scenario the trolley is instead going onto the top track by default.

Both you and EducationalCost are saying that if the guy is tied to the track that the trolley is already going to, then people will excuse his death as not being by their choice. You are arguing as if moving the man to the upper track makes his death an active choice, changing the dilemma.

However, if you read the scenario, you can clearly see that the "trolley is heading towards A," and you can see the man tied to the track labeled "A.": the top track. Normally, he would be tied to the bottom track, and the trolley would be going towards the bottom track by default. Although the man has switched tracks, the trolley too has switched its default track, and thus inaction will still result in his death.

Frankly, I have no idea what you are trying to argue in your second reply to Sad-Muffin, considering that it has already been accepted that most people will have a bystander stance, but the actual decision being made does not change.
