Of course the one-boxers get more money: They were put in a situation in which they could either get $1 000 000 or $1 001 000, whereas the two-boxers were put in a situation in which they could get $0 or $1000.
It makes no sense to compare the two decisions the way you and Eliezer do. It's like organizing a swimming competition between an Olympic athlete who has to swim ten kilometers to win and an untrained fatass who only has to swim a hundred meters to win, and concluding that because the fatass wins more often than the athlete, therefore fatasses clearly make better swimmers than athletes.
This premise is not accepted by the 1-box contingent. Occasionally they claim there's a reason.
Can you please elaborate? I'm trying to catch up!
You mean they don't accept that the decision doesn't affect what's in box B?
