How? Are you assuming that P(N) goes to zero?
Yes. This avoids assuming there is a non-zero probability that someone has infinite power; even the dark lords of the matrix couldn't grant me unlimited utility. I think the single "I am a god" forced one into an over-strict dichotomy.
(there is a certain similarity to the question as to whether we should give non-zero probability to there existing non-computable oracles)
