Yudkowsky gave a detailed answer the last time you asked. Also, Drescher points out a particular error that DBDT makes: in Newcomb's problem, if Omega chooses the contents of the box before the agent is born, the agent will two-box.

The actual objection was:
I don't think DBDT gives the right answer if the predictor's snapshot of the local universe-state was taken before the agent was born (or before humans evolved, or whatever), because the "critical point", as Fisher defines it, occurs too late.
Surely, as I pointed out at the time, the author already covered that in the paper. See this bit:

Basically this: "Eliezer Yudkowsky writes and pretends he's an AI researcher but probably hasn't written so much as an Eliza bot."
While the Eliezer S. Yudkowsky site has lots of divulgation articles and his work on rationality is of indisputable value, I find myself at a loss when I want to respond to this. Which frustrates me very much.
So, to avoid this sort of situation in the future, I have to ask: What did the man, Eliezer S. Yudkowsky, actually accomplish in his own field?
Please don't downvote the hell out of me, I'm just trying to create a future reference for this sort of annoyance.
