The above example had no consistent (real valued) utility function regardless off my 100M@.99999 vs. 100B@.99997 preference.

BTW, whatever would that preference be (I am a bit unsure, but I think I'd still take the 100M as not doing so would triple my chances of losing it) I did not really get the conclusion of the essay. At least I could not follow why being money-pumped (according to that definition of "money pumped") is so undesirable from any rational point of view.
