(Tomorrow I will argue that anthropic updates must be illegal and that the correct answer to the original problem must be "50%".)

Is your intent here to argue both sides of the issue to help, well, lay out the issues, or is it your actual current position that anthropic updates really really are verbotten and that 50% is the really really correct answer?
