“But at least you won’t convince anyone else”—maybe the poorest AND the most unexpected argument in all I’ve read on lesswrong.com. What if the optimal utility function does exist (not literally “bananas” but something), but some human biases—of the sort you describe or of some other—prevents even good Bayescraft masters from admitting the derivation?
(This is an attack on the proof not on what it claims to prove.)
