It sounds like you find the second argument so unconvincing that you don’t see why people consider it a paradox.
It doesn’t make sense given the rules. The rules say that there will only be a million in box B iff you only take box B. I’m not the kind of person who calls the police when faced with the trolley problem thought experiment. Besides that, the laws of physics obviously do not permit you to deliberately take both boxes if a nearly perfect predictor knows that you’ll only take box B. Therefore considering that counterfactual makes no sense (much less than a nearly perfect predictor).
