On the other hand, if our satisficer runs on updateless decision theory...

This seems to imply that an updatless satisficer would behave like a maximiser - or that an updatless satisficer with bounded rationality would make themselves into a maximiser as a precaution.

A UDT satisficer is closer to the original than a pure maximizer, because where different strategies fall above the threshold the original tie-breaking rule can still be applied.
