A strategy Omega uses to avoid paradox which has the effect of punishing certain rituals of cognition because they lead to paradox is different than Omega deliberately handicapping your thought process. It is not a winning strategy to pursue a line of thought that produces a paradox instead of a winning decision. I would wait until Omega forbids strategies that would otherwise win before complaining that he "bounds how rational I can be".
