As I quoted above, the 2007 paper says, "A computable utility function will have convergent expected utilities iff that function is bounded." Please dissect the difference between that, and the statement I made that you are criticizing, if you think my statement is a misinterpretation.

In that case, the difference is the word "computable". Not that that affects your argument, since as I understood it your proposed counterexample is the identity function.
