Nice try, but correct reasoning implies a complexity penalty because predicating my reasoning on arbitrary parameters would be filtered out quickly given informative observations.

Is every paperclip just as important, or each additional paperclip matters less?

Is certain number of paperclips exactly as valuable as half the chance for twice as many paperclips?

You're saying "complexity penalty", but it is not that complex to describe 3^^^3 paperclips. Number of possible paperclips can increase a lot lot faster than complexity.
