Newcomb-like problems are common in real life. This seems to suggest that a high fidelity is not needed.
I was surprised when I learned that Newcomb-like problems are common in real life.
It seems reasonable to compare a decision theory that tries to solve these to whatever intuitive means people use to solve them.
People simulate other people in their minds. They don’t need to think ’they are similar to me”. Simulating them in a way that is close to how they think themselves may be enough.
