This was what I gathered from reading the beginning of the TDT paper: "There's this one decision theory that works in every single circumstance except for this one crazy sci-fi scenario that might not even be physically possible, and then there's this other decision theory that works in said sci-fi scenario but not really anywhere else. We need to find a decision theory that combines these two in order to always work, including in this one particular sci-fi scenario."

I guess it might be useful for AI research, but I don't see why I would need to learn it.
