This argument strikes me as boiling down to: "I can't think of any bad attractors besides the anti-inductive prior, therefore I'm going to assume I don't need to worry about them".
Nevertheless, the lack of exposure to such attractors is quite relevant: if there was any, you'd expect some scientist to encounter it.
Why would one expect scientists to have encountered such attractors before even if they exist? As far as I know there hasn't been much effort to systematically search for them, and even if there has been some effort in that direction, Eliezer didn't site any.
