Greaves rejects subjective uncertainty. With respect to spin up and

"What ... should Alice expect to see? Here I invoke the following
premise: whatever she knows she will see, she should expect (with
certainty!) to see. So, she should (with certainty) expect to see
spin-up, and she should (with certainty) expect to see spin-down."
That's nonsense, and contrary to observed fact.
Yes, it is the common confusion between 1 and 3 views. She should have
said:
"whatever she knows she will see, she should expect (with
certainty!) to see SOMETHING definite". And in the 1p it is obvious
she will never see both outcome".
