What makes the bomb dilemma seem unfair to me is the fact that it’s conditioning on an extremely unlikely event. The only way we blow up is if the predictor predicted incorrectly. But by assumption, the predictor is near-perfect. So it seems implausible that this outcome would ever happen.
Although I strongly disagree with Achmiz on the Bomb scenario in general, here we agree: Bomb is perfectly fair. You just have to take the probabilities into account, after which—if we value life at, say, $1,000,000 - Left-boxing is the only correct strategy.
