To extend the metaphor: it is a well-known observation among linguists and amateur grammarians that the more you think about edge cases the worse your intuition becomes.
I wonder if there is a similar hazard from spending too much time thinking about weird hypothetical situations.
This is my impression of UDT.
Which implies that you treat decision theory like grammar and morality rather than a reducible abstract theory.
