My decision theory which this margin is too small to contain, would, in fact, take revenge, as well as one-boxing on Newcomb's Problem, keeping its promise to Parfit's Hitchhiker, etcetera, so long as it believed the other could correctly simulate it, or attached high probability to being correctly simulated. (Nor would it be particularly difficult to simulate! The decision is straightforward enough.)
And having gotten that far, I gave up on the article.
I am probably not the only individual who remains curious as to when you might stumble upon a sufficiently spacious margin for this purpose.
