If I understand the maths right the important part of http://www.hutter1.net/ai/paixi.ps for using kolmogorov complexity is the part of section 2 that says

"The SPΘμ system is best in the sense that EnΘμ ≤ Enρ for any ρ."

That doesn't guarantee that this EnΘμ = Enρ for large numbers of different ρ. isn't true which would invalidate any claims of it being the one right way of doing things.

I was interested in links to papers with that theorem disproved.
