This requirement (large numbers that refer to sets have large kolmogorov complexity) is a weaker version of my and RichardKenneway's versions of the anti-mugging axiom. However, it doesn't work for all utility functions; for example, Clippy would still be vulnerable to Pascal's Mugging if using this strategy, since he doesn't care whether the paperclips are distinct.

Thanks for the links; I seem to have missed that post.
