I must say I'm disappointed by the lack of rigor. On the other hand, I'm slightly relieved that he didn't beat me to any of the stuff in the decision theory document I'm writing myself. So far, I have yet to see any formalization of decision theory that I would consider usable, other my own unfinished one.

I notice there seems to be an issue with the bibliography - there's only one entry in it, but I've found at least one other citation in the text (Judea Pearl's Causality cited on page 58) that's not there. Are there any good collections of decision theory paper links out there?

If you have new formal arguments about decision theory, it would be much more useful to me (and others, I think) if you just posted them here in their current state instead. Or emailed them to the interested people.
