Given this fact, I couldn't follow the discussion of A's tendency to believe Model 2 in "approximate AIXI" section. Model 2 doesn't have any effect, so why worry about its probability? What matters is relative probability of models that do depend on their arguments.
There are only slightly more complicated models (e.g. Model 3) which are indistinguishable from model 2 but do depend on their arguments.
If Model 2 is more likely than Model 1, behavior is basically guaranteed to be arbitrary.
