Not all interventions are equivalent. There are different kinds:

do(X=x) = set the value of X to a scalar
do(X=f(.)) = set the value of X to a deterministic function that we can evaluate
"mechanism change" = alter the functional relationships of one or all the parental relationships wrt the node
"additive" = add noise

Mechanism change can be further decomposed to:

alter the structure (i.e. SCM arguments)
do not alter the structure (parents are exactly the same)
