Do you understand how any definite answer other than 0 and 1 means you just got successfully Dutch booked?

It doesn't. Not even remotely. You clearly have no understanding of the Dutch book concept.

And this demonstrates the problem I have with "koans". They tend to be used to try to make complete nonsense sound deep. The troubling thing is that it quite often works. The parent is upvoted still at the time of my reply and it almost certainly wouldn't be if not for koan silliness.
