Are you referring to the result that every non-dominated decision procedure is either a Bayesian procedure or a limit of Bayesian procedures? If so, one could imagine a frequentist procedure that is strictly dominated by other procedures, but where finding the dominating procedures is computationally infeasible. Alternately, a procedure could be non-dominated, and thus Bayesian for the right choice of prior, but the correct choice of prior could be difficult to find (the only proof I know of the "non-dominated => Bayesian" result is non-constructive).
