What is your answer?
Suppose that you want to spank your child. GR would have you ask:
{ 1 } - "If I were in my child's exact place, would I then (as a child) consent to being spanked?"
{ 2 } - "Do I now (as an adult) consent to the idea that if I were in my child's exact place then I'd be spanked?"
{ 3 } - Both questions mean the same thing.

If you were in your child's exact place, you'd have the desire that the child presently has -- you'd desire not to be spanked. GR, formulated this way, would forbid you to spank your child.
