I brought up a similar objection to acausal trade, and found [Nesov_2010]’s reply somewhat convincing.
His reply doesn’t address the problem of potentially prohibitive difficulty of acausal trade, it merely appeals to its theoretical possibility. Essentially, the argument is that “there is still a chance”, but that’s not enough,
“between zero chance of becoming wealthy, and epsilon chance, there is an order-of-epsilon difference”
