I've Made A Terrible Mistake

D'oh! I got confused. For some reason (even though it's perfectly clear what you wrote), I thought the Sandshoe Crusher was the supposed to be the equivalent of the Point of Attack, not the Predicament -- I guess cuz it was the first definition you put up there, and I immediately thought of it in terms of the first part of the sequence method, the Point of Attack.

So, unless I'm still confused, Predicament = Sandshoe Crusher = Inciting Incident.

(I know, the audience is just swooning.)
