Maybe the whole point of a logical coinflip is about being harder to prove than simple statements about the agent. If the coinflip were simple compared the the agent, like "1!=1", then a CDT agent would not have precommitted to cooperate, because the agent would have figured out in advance that 1=1. So it's not clear that a UDT agent should cooperate either.
