I guess my point was that there is a trivial reduction (in the complexity theory sense of the word) here, namely that decision theory is “modeling-complete.” In other words, if we had algorithm for solving a certain class of decision problems correctly, we automatically have an algorithm for correctly handling the corresponding model (otherwise how could we get the decision problem right?)
Prediction cannot solve causal decision problems, but the reason it cannot is that it cannot solve the underlying modeling problem correctly. (If it could, there is nothing more to do, just integrate over the utility).
