People here seem confident that there exists a decision theory immune to blackmail.

I suspect this is wishful thinking. It would be nice to use it (if it exists), so assume it exists and go looking for it: either you can't find it, and so it doesn't matter whether it existed or not in the first place, or you found it, and now you know it existed in the first place and what it is.
