Had the money more than made up for it, it would have been rational from a normal expected-utility perspective to play the lottery. My scenario was assuming that, with sufficient computational power, you would know that playing the lottery wasn't rational.
We're not disagreeing about the value of the lottery - it was, by stipulation, a losing bet - we are disagreeing about the proper attitude towards the news of having won the lottery.
I don't think I understand the difference in opinion well enough to discover the origin of it.
I must have misunderstood you, then. I think that we agree about having a positive attitude toward having won.
