It is an anthropic problem. Agents who don't get to make decisions by definition don't really exist in the ontology of decision theory. As a decision theoretic agent being told you are not the decider is equivalent to dying.
Or more precisely it is equivalent to falling into a crack in spacetime without Amelia Pond having a crush on you. ;)
