I don't see why there has to be a solution to Pascal's Mugging. Is it so implausible to think that it's just a valid quirk in the system?

Does this mean you'll pay up if you get Pascal-mugged, because it's a "valid quirk in the system"? If so, I have an amazing offer for you.

If you won't pay up, why not?

Err, yes. Maybe it is. That's what I'm trying to find out...

Are you saying that I should take some action with the knowledge that it might just be a quirk in the system? Like not posting my hypothesis?

Not at all. I was probably being unclear, I apologize.

Fair enough. Would you mind explaining your intent then?
