I agree, and for this reason whenever I make descriptions I make Omega's response to quantum smart-asses and other randomisers explicit and negative.

If Omega wants to smack down the use of randomness, I can't stop it. But there are a number of game theoretic situations where the optimal response is random play, and any decision theory that can't respond correctly is broken.
