As I see it, the only way any alternative can be exclusive is if the cause and effect are coupled. E.g. a situation arises where the reaction can only happen if the spin coupling channel is available. IOW the availability of the channel is what makes the reaction possible in the first place. (QM does appear to work this way, i.e. the probability of a reaction occurring is linked to the possible result of the reaction.)
